What's next?

Lesley said I can't become a used car salesman so we talked and decided that Lewis can support us by joining the Circus.  He does so well on the ball that we think we will work on training him over the next few months and then see what he can bring in, salary and tips!

I'm joking of course but just has to say that!

Lewis is doing so well in obedience training and he is such a joy.  So glad we've added him to our family.

Plan now is to hang out in the Florida Keys for a few months this winter then perhaps move the boat up to the Chesapeake next year and let him enjoy the area and friends there.

Big plus is he says he keeps hearing about something called "Doods" and he wants to check them out!

More Rigging

Bill (owner of IP-40 Florida Buoy) came over to the boat several days ago and helped me while I removed the backstays.  I ordered the new wire and fittings and was able to save and reuse the Stalock insulators.  One of the old backstays on the left.

I'm waiting on 2 Norseman studs for the lower turnbuckles now but everything else is ready and one more trip up the mast to install the backstays and we will have completed full replacement of the standing rigging with the mast in place.

Nice to be completing this project.

New holding Tank Project

I completed installing the tank level sensor and calibrated it with fresh water.

The final installation in the boat and level sensor wired to the monitor.

And then installed the new floor panel.

Once I complete the plumbing to the tank will refinish the sole with Minwax Polyurethane.  I hope I have time to finish this while I have the boat here in the marina.
