I guess I let this blog slide for some time. I lost my dog, she had a long hard battle with cancer. We decided to jump back in and get a puppy. Meet Bailey, she is a Portuguese water dog. We planned on taking the boat up to the north channel last summer but I talked to my wife and said that I don't yet trust it. Shortly after that everything started going wrong. Water pump, poop pump , leaky hot water tank, anchor light, steaming light, antenna, motor mounts,  the main sail furler stopped working, the list goes on.

I finished the hard top, dodger and bimini, still have to sew up the enclosure. I decided to drop the mast and go through it. new halyards, disassemble the main sail furler (what a mess) I have tossed all the bearing blocks and redesigned them. The point where the boom connected to the mast had been damaged and poorly repaired. I built a bullet proof replacement. looking for new lights at the boat show, installing a radar, TV antenna, VHF antenna, wind instrument, all new wiring. working on an aft dingy lift.
