Getting to Majuro was sort of the beginning of the end. Way back in Fiji we had decided that once we got to Majuro, we would begin the task of getting Exodus listed and ready to sell. It had always been this nebulous task out there in the distant future, but now it was time.
And we hated it. We ended up spending two weeks being grouchy and not getting much done.
Obviously, for many reasons we couldn’t languish indefinitely in Majuro; the most pressing of those reasons being we still wanted to cruise some of the outer islands of RMI, and the longer we stayed in Majuro, the less time we had to explore. So, we put our project management hats on, made a list, assigned actions, and declared, “Go team!” I can’t say that the grumpiness subsided*, since putting Exodus up for sale represented the near end of our travels, but at least we had a plan to get the hell out of Majuro. (*Except for Alex. He was ready to back to California, for sure!)
We did a ton of cleaning, and the boys did the bulk of the work topsides. I used the favorable light of the evening sun to snap photos of sections of the boat I decluttered each day, and Tim and I went back and forth writing the text for the website and editing each other’s stuff.
There was one major repair project which had to do with the galley sink. Tim enlisted the help of another cruiser, and they spent several days repairing the counter around the sink. They had to be creative in their solution, since we weren’t exactly in an ideal yacht services location, but it ended up turning out really good. Tim is always so meticulous in the work that he does, and this project was no exception.
Repair to the galley sink
Our website went live on Feb 20, and we had Exodus listed on 5 or 6 yacht sales website by the end of the next day. We were hopeful we’d have an offer soon, so all the was left was provisioning and passage planning and then we were on our way.
