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.
Varnish prepping
4/18/01

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.

Moved original wet cell batteries to under sattee from stateroom - 2010
April 2010 - Marina Cortez San Diego, CA
Got our new bimini installed
3\31\2010 San Diego, CA
Got our new bimini installed. Am not sure about the stretch of the fabric. We got a Weblon vinyl fabric with white on top side and sand on under side. It looks as if it may collect water.
We will hose test it this weekend. There is a Catalina 34’ boat in out next slip with a vinyl bimini. We will water test theirs also for them to see if there is a difference J. It takes a bit of getting us too. We got a 10x20 window also.

3\29\2010 San Diego, CA
This weekend we got our bimini frame installed (well Monday). The handsome guy with the hat on is me. The other guy (not as handsome as me) is Todd from San Diego Canvas. We are shooting the fat over the wind generator pole and outboard motor lift scenario. Neat day or so should see the bimini on!
Old charger to new Xantrex Freedom 2000 charger\inverter - 2010
March 2010 - At Marina Cortez San Diego, CA
Because we will be living on our boat for a long time to come we decide on a Xantrex 2000 watt charger\inverter. We may never need all that but we may grow into it.
We may sail to Costa Rica and then eventually up to San Francisco. Or farther south etc.
So we have purchased a Xantrex Freedom modified sin wave charger\inverter.
Because of space considerations we chose a unite that had both instead of separate unites.

Salon courtesy lights
4/19/10
I added a new curtsey light in the salon, well replaced an old one with the new LED red ones we had purchased. There are places for seven. We have six in place, five working (ran out of but connectors). We are getting there. I used a hole saw to make a bigger hole for one under the steps in the companion way. Used a hole saw in a hole saw, worked good.

Bow roller replacement, new CQR and Bruce rollers - 2010
January 2011 - At Marina Cortez, San Diego, CA
We want to replace these bow rollers with two new ones so that we can have both anchors on the bow.
Installed Caframo Bora 3 speed fan in head - 2010
We have added a Caframo Bora 3 speed an in the head and have removed the old light that was by the door as you come in. The reason we got started on this is because the previous owner (PO) stored the spinnaker pole in the boat.
Sconce LED lights in head
We have added two sconce Led lights in the head and have removed the old light that was by the door as you come in. The reason we got started on this is because the previous owner (PO) stored the spinnaker pole in the boat. To do this he cut holes in the head bulkhead and the settee bulkhead. So we used a piece of starboard to cover the hole in the head and put a fan there. The we added these two lights. They are real nice looking and make the head look even bigger. These are LED lights and have two bulbs each.
May 2010 - Tied up in Marina Cortez, CA.
The top round white spot is where the spinnaker pole went through. We covered the head side with a piece of white starboard.

Boat hook
Because we are in a 35’ slip that is just about wide enough (we use ac couple flat fenders) we decide a boat hook was need to pole out. You can see it mounted on the stanchions. Got to look through the power cord etc. It is a Shroud and we have a bunch of attachments for it. We also have another Shroud pole we use for a broom.
