Narrative accompanying our 2024 pictures above - Starting at the top left-hand corner...
For the winter 2023/24 Ngahue IV has been 'inside' with Aqualift in Nieuwpoort, together with two other HR53s (Sophia and Anna II). A lot of work was again spent looking after the teak deck. And being able to check and talk with Gerrit of my immediate neighbour, Sophia, proved to be very beneficial, with equipment being shared and used to everyone's satisfaction.
Special mention should be made of the new shower faucet that was installed in the forward heads & shower area. The previous faucet had not survived a vigorous vinegar bath the previous winter and looked decidedly shabby. Also, the on/off and thermostat buttons moved with difficulty. Time, after 28 years of loyal service, to be repalced. Hallberg-Rassy Parts supplies a new generation of faucets, but whereas my neighbour Gerrit of HR53 Sophia managed a simple plug 'n play with his new faucet, on Ngahue IV it was more a question of plug 'n nightmare! A special wall-bracket was ordered from Sweden to fit the tap - which certainly looks much nicer (even if much bigger) than the old one.
