It is the name of our boat, and the scope of our travel ambitions.

Loved the pictures of the dolphins they obviously think Kosmos is pretty cool too! Hope to see you later in the year ,Oz perhaps, it might be just about safe for me to venture down under after the Cricket by then? If we have a very long passage I might just be able to explain the rules! Do you realise that you are really doing to do it this Year!!! after all that planning WOW its fantastic!!

A series of boats were impacted. A couple windows were showing on Kosmos early signs of trouble, and some other boats had it worse. PAE redid _all_ the paint on the windows on Kosmos to be sure everything was proper. As far as I know they have fixed the others or in the process of doing so. We were impressed to say the least. Once again it re-enforces our choice in PAE/Nordhavn. Apparently there was a bad batch of paint/process which was causing some bubbles and peeling of the paint on the window frames.

This appears to be a systemic problem with doors and windows made in FarEast and apparently was not an issue with the Canadian built windows. Hopefully the problem is fixed on your boat.

Great to hear from you. So far we are on track. Still lots to do though. In July we hope to be relaxing in the South Pacific, probably right by Tahiti. We hope to download your blog before we leave and catch up with your travels and we certainly hope to see you out there! Paul! Great to hear from you. So far we are on track. Still lots to do though.
