Well at an average of -20 Celsius over the last two and a half months work on the boat proper has ceased until April and cover off time, that being said we brought home a load of projects when we winterized her and covered her for the winter in early November. These projects include a complete rebuild (re-core and re-fiberglassing ) of the sea hood over the line organizers, a partial re-core of the quadrant cover, a search for a new start battery solar panel and controller for the start battery that was FUBARed beyond any hope of recovery, ordering and getting a new Edson Wheel Brake relining kit, the Admiral bless her heart is sewing up a new cover for the main after taking the old one apart for use as a pattern. (A week ago we lucked into buying a brand new JUKI DDL-8700 industrial sewing machine and all associated kit from an estate sale for approximately 1/3 the on line price, which makes the Admirals projects much easier). We also bought a 28Volt Milwaukee 90Deg drill and a winch bit after a friend that is a machinist required help at his shop for the week and my wages paid the drill out at Home Depot, its gonna be great for pulling up that big main and for the Admiral to pull Mr. Fatbody here up the stick when need be for repairs, etc. Lastly, this weekend we're off to a boat show in Halifax, Nova Scotia (its not a big show) that I refer to as my mental health break. Two or three day in a hotel, someone else doing the cooking, the show and visits with relatives and sailing friends completes the package. Launch day is May 26th, can't wait to get the deck back under my feet.
