Boat Work - rinsing and prep for SHTP


 

Rinsing the old genoa which helps with single handed sailing..it's got a lot of patches and doesn't quite hold its shape anymore - still bravely pushing the bow ahead.


Rinsing Elise's lines. Light air has them drop in the water for light of pressure...so they actually get wet too...


Elise's port side quarterberth leecloth was removed to support electrical upgrade work on the autopilot panel.


It's now back in place so we can use the bunk again at sea without falling all over the engine. Conveniently it also isolates some of the wiring from accidental pulls :)


The girl in all her splendor


Elise has a plexiglas door for long distance offshore (so it doesn't 'float up' if the boat is submerged in water) - it also needs to be attached to the boat in the event of 'removal' so it doesn't go overboard...


Mission accomplished!!
