The More Things Change

From the Master Project List, 2008 Version…the update. To be followed with an updated “2009 Version”.

• Add sprit for cruising asymmetrical; on order from Hallberg-Rassy
• Re-caulk teak deck; as much as I can do vs. a little as I can get away with
• Replace damaged 24V Alternator
• Paint the bottom, replace the zincs
• Replace the valves in the heads Got the forward one done anyway
• New Bimini
• New Cushions
• Figure out why I the SSB barely works. It’s probably me, not the radio.
• Add a small electric bilge pump hard wired to 12V house
• Fix the oven control knob
• Fix the oil change and 2nd emergency bilge/fire pumps
• Repair/Replace the manual bilge pump
• Get the Freedom 25 charger fixed Sort of fixed it…
• Get the life raft re-certified Or totaled, cut up and thrown out.
• Add a couple of solar panels Six on last year, two left
• Move the propane tanks back to the propane locker, add a solenoid
• Add a salt water washdown to the anchor locker
• Install Cabin Fans (6 24v fans) Got a couple of them in
• Add a UV cover to the 105% jib
• Recondition/restore the gelcoat shine an ongoing battle, really
• Clean all the rest of the crud out of the lockers, lazarettes, under floor compartments that I still haven’t gotten around to doing
• Replace the heads…maybe just the aft toilet.

So some progress was made, but it’s never enough. Of course there are many NEW things to do. That list is forthcoming.

Two steps forward, one step back.
