We reached the halfway point of our winter work period. Maggie, Ioana, and Lina continued to work in mechanical, fairing, and electrical, respectively. Maggie learned how to use a jigsaw and hole saw in the mechanical shop; Ioana sanded the propellers of the 77 yacht; and Lina helped wire the steering system (she made the other workers jealous by having the privilege of a walkie-talkie).
