Today we finally agreed to buy the ship. We are not aware what kinds of adventures we will be
facing, but OK, so let’s go!

We have decided to move Simplicity’s home to Las Palmas. So today is the day of her first
longer trip after being back in the water.

It’s the real truth! After many years over years spending on land waiting, and waiting, and
waiting, and months of very hard work Simplicity finally went back into the element she has
been designed for - SHE’S BACK IN THE WATER!!! Despite the efforts of local workers in
Mogàn!

Two and a half weeks of hard work in the shipyard and Simplicity is back in her birth. She has
a brand new coating of the underwater hull from scratch on, i.e. beginning on the pure
ferrocement and up to terribly expensive but costworthy JOTUN Racing Antifouling paint.

After nearly one year back in the water and still permanently leaking a bit we brought her to
Las Palmas shipyard. After craning her out of the water we detected the whole mess when
high-pressure cleaning the hull. The work of centuries before was completely in vain as much
as the so-called work we had payed for when ordering the hull to be painted with anti-fouling
not much more than a year ago in Mogàn. Everythig simpliy fell off or was already gone. So we
had to decide to rework the complete underwater hull layer by layer from scratch.
