I can almost feel launch..,,.,I can tell because its lighter outside 15 minutes longer, so we are about 80 days to launch, so our project this spring is to install the Oberdorfer pump we bought and of course wax and touch up the bottom paint. So what projects are on your list.....?

Would really love to install one of these Oberdorfer pumps, especially the 908. But with the dollar as it is the cost here in Canada is unreal. BO HO !!!

1. Finish wiring my emergency cross connect per Maine's wiring diagram. This will allow me, if necessary, to start the engine on the house battery or run essential loads and start my Nextgen on my start battery. I don't have a 1/2/both switch.
2. Finish wiring my "new" Lewmar electric winch conversion kit on my ST44 halyard winch.
3. Adjust my Maxprop one notch so I can get full 3600 rpm at wide open throttle (can only get 3300 right now).

Its actually decent sailing down here (75 yesterday:p ) but I'm on the hard :( for some Hurricane Matthew repairs and new bottom paint. Can't wait to get back on the water!! :D

Hope that's 8 not -8 degrees!!! But I guess at that temp it doesn't make much difference. It did cool down to about 55 today but should be up to mid 70s by the middle of the week. Of course I have to go to Ogden UT for work next week.
