Wrench-1
Less than three weeks till haul-in day and I am basically ready. Good job as I only have one workable weekend day left what with one thing or another. I am quietly quite pleased with all this as I do not consider myself a handyman. In fact I am a bit of a klutz. I have managed to do these jobs without bodging or buggering up any with one exception. I managed to sever the aerial cable (now spliced).

Jobs done:
– Bottom painted with two coats
– Hull cleaned and polished
– Deck cleaned
– Outboard serviced and tested
– Teak sanded
– Mast inspected
– Installed halyard clutch
– Bought new life sling and dock lines
– Installed new VHF
– Installed charger outlet
– Bought removable solar panel
– Bought portable GPS
– Bought binoculars
– Bought tool box
– Bought lots of spares

Still working on:
– Clean and oil winches
– Purge water system
– Oil Teak
– Install new halyards
– Check safety equipment
– Buy spare engine parts

May not get to:
– Empty gas tank
– Replace switch panel so that I can get anchor light working

Stuff to do next year:
– Take the hull down to the fiberglass
