Late winter and early spring prep

Ship's Log – May 5, 2009

Spring is here and the stock market is up but the prep work continues. Many parts and pieces got moved, replaced, redone – what-have-you. The salon was turned into a tool shed. The generator spent a great deal of time suspended over the cockpit waiting for things that go underneath it to arrive, get sent back and come back again, and finally the day came to remove the winter wrapping.



















What a big tarp! So many screws in that frame had to be taken out. How great it is to have light inside the boat again. Now we can see all the dirt that accumulated over the winter!
