Boat Work Day - Dec 12, 2010

Very productive day - we actually did work on the boat only in the morning, and we showed up at 9:30 so a very reasonable hour and enjoyed a hearty brunch at the Club afterward. I'll post photos soon!

We had planned to do some sanding and varnishing, both inside and outside as it is getting to that time...unfortunately, the weather was still pretty foggy (so much for a post-10am sunny forecast...the sun didn't pierce through until 4pm) so we couldn't do that. This means another half day of work (or less, with a power tool for sanding!!) in the not so distant future, if Mother Nature is kind enough to send us a sunny day on a non-race day...

Otherwise, we have achieved:

  • fixed battery loose connection
  • replaced tiller extension attach point
  • serviced starboard primary winch
  • clipped wires in starboard cubby hole to put them out of the way
  • cleaned both tables
  • cleaned bilge
  • replaced bottom hank for race #3
  • took measurements for upcoming new flexible solar panel
  • screwed back a couple of items that had fallen the companionway
  • tried out Elise's new grill
  • checked rig tune
  • fixed engine (we just ran it for a while and it felt ok, so we left it on the boat - it didn't start on Saturday hence the time doing that)
  • removed old blanched flag sheet and put new Boat US stickers (helpful if you need Vessel Assist)
  • brushed deck
  • rinsed boat
We also debugged the stereo - and concluded that it was toast...
