<\/a><\/p>\nOther times you have to look in places such as the lazarette<\/strong>. Err, the where? We were going to link to Dictionary.com<\/a> for the definition for the less nautically savvy, but it gave us this definition: “Lazarette <\/em>n. hospital for persons with infectious diseases (especially leprosy).” Ummmm…\u00a0We\u00a0are pretty sure we did not order one of those. So instead\u00a0please use this definition from the\u00a0marine glossary at MarineWaypoints.com<\/a>\u00a0which lists, “Lazarette<\/em> – Compartment in the stern of a vessel used for storage; a storage space below the deck in the cockpit.” Ok, much better, yes we have one of those.<\/p>\n You could say the “laz”\u00a0on the boat is\u00a0like\u00a0the garage or basement\u00a0on a\u00a0house. On Kosmos besides having storage space, it has several important mechanical and electrical items. For example it is where the hydraulic steering system connects to the rudder, and you can tell they are working on it because it is disconnected at the moment:<\/p>\n And here are\u00a0a some more pictures inside the\u00a0laz. See the picture with the box and hoses? See\u00a0the valve on the left that has no hose? Bonus points if you can guess what that is for.<\/p>\n And other things were done since our last vist a week prior. Such as the screens were installed on the portholes, and the galley\u00a0stove\/oven was setup. The generator was run for about 5 hours and our guess is\u00a0the air conditioning and heat systems were tested. An outside\u00a0scrape was fixed and various inside panels were off for access to systems. Finally we saw a pile of rigging for our mast, paravanes, and boom.<\/p>\n We are starting to wonder when the anti-matter warp core and transporter pad (seen below) will be installed. We swear those are on our order.<\/p>\n Each time we visit Kosmos, something else is done. Sometimes it is an obvious change, such as the white mesh covers up on the windows: Other times you have to look in places such as the lazarette.
