Between Kit, Nathan and Nat -
- installed dodger
- stowed and secured everything away
- packed spinnakers - rigged sock to borrowed shy kite
- picked up new engine
- filled out gas tanks + set up new gas tanks (external fitting)
- filled out stowage plans for emergency items and heavy items
- Counted batteries and got right amount for our needs
- Modified mount of emergency rudder to make it easier to fit it in
- put some pad eyes inside the boat so we can secure gas tanks, flare box and spare tool box to the floorboard instead of having them fly around the cabin
- removed some unwanted items to make space and lighten things up a bit
- figured out where to put and how to mount the liferaft
- finalized shopping list
- started to do some shopping
- printed light list
- bought banding tool
- tightened up lifelines (we can use stock lifelines for this event, so we didn't have to replace our Bay lifeline with the higher/heavier/back breaking Pac Cup ones
- Checked that batteries were still charging OK w/ solar panel. Everything looks fine
- Accidently found a lifejacjet that was thought to be lost. It had been swallowed by a spinnaker
And even though we have tuned the rigging, not sure if the mast looks right so Nathan is doing some research on that and we'll see if we want to change stuff around.
Final modifications are happening as we speak (Kit is at the boat), I am about to do some more shopping and Nathan will go to the skipper's meeting tonight and print out the stowage plans on laminated/waterproof paper.
Before I do this, I am actually finishing off a few things for work.
