Bees are harder to get out from the masthead than we had figured, besides removing them you also have to get rid of the honey laden hive inside the mast or new bees will move right into this empty home. Rick from Mazatlan Marine Services has dealt with this on many occasions and the plan is to get a steam cleaning outfit with a high pressure steam hose steam clean the inside of the mast after the bees are gone. This will probably take several days to put together and our plan to start moving south tomorrow is scrapped
Still working on the bees-in-the-mast problem

Good thing you are not back home in California. You would probably be facing opposition from “Save the Bees” and you’d have to put the eradication plans on hold.
Hello Arjan,
I was fortunate to find your website and appreciate the building info. I built a foam sandwich 37′ tri and worked on two 50′ cats back in the 70′s. I am now building a 47′ custom tri, part of my bucket list, so it is interesting to see your build and how certain things have changed. Two questions, how did your diesel/electric drive work out and did you finish your boat in vinylester resin as opposed to the epoxy.
Thanks John
