The flip side of Palmer being quaint and cozy is that it's very small and every space is multipurpose. C and I share an office with the mechanic, and the garage that is just large enough for him to bring in and service our heavy equipment doubles as a receiving area for the cargo that comes off the boat for us. The last time the boat was here was our major resupply of the year and we emptied five shipping containers before all was said and done. There were boxes EVERYWHERE, and the garage looked like this:
Unfortunately, the SkyTrak (telescoping forklift) that we used to deliver this stuff and still needed to keep moving it around as it was unpacked starting having major technical difficulties when the garage was completely full of stuff. In a classic Catch-22, the patient mechanic couldn't fix the SkyTrak until we cleared out the garage, but we were having trouble clearing out the garage because the SkyTrak wasn't working right.
Through really amazing efforts on the parts of half a dozen people and a ton of helpers, we went from that to this in just about 48 hours:
And five minutes after we got the garage looking like that, the mechanic eased the SkyTrak in and it looked like this:
Hang in there, SkyTrak. We need you!
