So we are varnishing our head are at this time. Have been for a while. It has been a learning experience. We are using an interlux interior varnish. We are doing trim areas in gloss and flat areas in satin. At this time I am working on the head door, both sides. Also some small areas in the head.

Starting battery, we have the parts, now to install them - 2010
May 2010 Marina Cortez.San Diego, CA
We tried to put ends on the old welding wire but could not find enough good wire under the rubber insulation. We will need to replace it. That is the ground from engine to battery on Perkins..
The Shower system install
We added another piece to the shower system.
The piece from the mixer to the water outlet that goes through the wall (bulkhead). We also figured out how we are going to install the shower mixer.

Harken Traveler - Traveler replacement project
2010 Marina Cortez San Diego, CA
We have decided to move up our traveler replacement project.
We have ordered up a new dodger for our dodger frame and that has put pressure on us to find the right placement of the traveler lines coming into the cockpit. They will be going through the dodger. We do not want to have a new dodger with holes for the current lines and then have to patch them and make new holes for new lines a few inches over. Something like that so we will just get going on the new traveler.

Cosmetic work where whisker pole had been stored and transducer hole - 2010
Pulled all the chain out of the chain locker
We pulled all the chain out of the chain locker this weekend.
We found an old towel at the bottom! Debbie has never liked the chain locker and we see she had a good reason.
There is two hundred feet of 3/8 and guessing a hundred fifty of small stuff. We cut off the small stuff and plan on painting and wire tying parts for markings. Dam rain came today so it is on the dock for a few more days.

We washed the chain locker
We washed the chain locker then scrapped it and then painted it.
It was brown. You can see there is extra fiberglass where the chain sits. Also the bottom of the chain locker has a hole for drainage. It is a lot bigger than I thought. I had thought it was maybe as big as one of the small deck scuppers. It is much larger. Bigger than one of the large scuppers.
