New engine is in and running. While engine was being rebuilt (sent to Ohio) I replaced everything in the engine compartment so all would be new at the same time. Also, I decided to complete a lot of my want list. Added; additional halyard forward, topping lift thru mast to cockpit, double exit blocks to mast base, new lines for all 4 halyards. four rope clutches to cabin top, new mast head sheaves, new compass in cockpit, new anchor chain and rode with a spare set and all new cushions. During all this we took a two month RV trip to escape some of the Texas heat. Today the boat was to go to the lake and I pulled a leg muscle last night and can hardly walk this morning (S**t) New tachometer arrived and is broke in the box. Got to get a lot of sailing from this boat to recover the cost.
