MARCH 2004 - The emergency help team!
There was a change
with the project Olivier is working on at the end of January and the
whole project is to move back to France by the end of March.
So that left us a lot of work to get done in a month and a half to get
Seafield ready to go back to sea again!!!
Luckily some friends came to give us a hand and work never got done
so fast as during the month of March!
Could never have done it without them....Fantastic!!!!
