Really quick update

Bullet point as our time is becoming short ;-)

Over the past four days or so
  • inspected everything
  • tallied all equipment and brought over to boat
  • borrowed a shy kite and arranged for shipping
  • arranged for boat tow back
  • arranged for YC to stay over at in Long Beach after delivery from Catalina
  • mounted/tested solar panel
  • tested/diagnosed the problem deck level light
  • got relevant charts
  • got 2009 nav books
  • bought a new outboard engine with external fuel tank (and the fuel tank) after Nathan declared our current one as pretty unhappy...
  • Booked some plane tickets
  • Tried the repaired spinnaker
  • Put in a new spin halyard and tried in (sailing)
  • Tried the sock with the newly repaired spinnaker
  • Tried emergency rudder and designed a way to steer it
  • Started to put things away in the right places...
  • Put together provisioning list
  • Picked up the liferaft
  • Other stuff I am sure I am forgetting
And work is continuing...by proxy over the next couple of days
