Heather and I will do some work on the boat on Saturday and do some practice sailing on Sunday as well as a second coat on the settees and the deck wood.
Note that some of this can happen concurrently
- swap lifelines (1 hour)
- deviation card for compasses (1 hour)
- replace clip for tiller extension (10 minutes with the right part) which means a trip to get parts
- plug in the solar panel (I will bring the blog photo :-))
- charge up batteries
- stow up items (finish the job) including making sure the anchor doesn't go anywhere
- take boat out of the water, brush off the bottom (was in the water all week for inspection and boat work)
- teak oil on settee (10 minutes, the boat is all rinsed)
- varnish deck wood (30 minutes to 1 hour)
- wire shut the jacklines
- put armband C-strobe on a stick that can be hoisted up the mast (the right way up)
- initial shopping (non perishables)
If there is time
- calibrate NKE autopilot
Kit helped quite a bit
- spare VHF antenna wire has a new connector (easy to swap at the VHF itself) and works just fine. Our main antenna is up the mast, the spare one is connected to the pushpit by the GPS antenna
and I think that we may be able to do this boat work to the sound of music! Elise may have an 'easy to remove/add' stereo + speaker system AND an easy way to plug in an iPod into it by tomorrow!!!
Elise's Genoa is getting a service and will have a foot line (finally, no more flapping!!!) that has been missing all these years...
The new blade should be ready by the Sarcoma Cup.
