While the interior carpenter work still going on I have also worked on getting all the official paperwork done.
This was a bit Kafkaesque, in particular because the Estonian shipping registry’s response to our request for a certificate of non-registration was that they could not write a certificate about a ship they didn’t know anything about. So the yard manager asked them to write a certificate about that, then. Which was apparently difficult for them, but finally we got it and the Swedish shipping registry accepted it, to my relief.
So those of you with VHF radios, make a note: Journeyman/SMVO, MMSI 265660990 !
