Finally! I am the proud owner of a hole on the water I can throw my money into! Although I’m a few thousand miles away in Afghanistan, I can now start working on some of the boat projects:
Here’s the little list so far:
Allow easy access to the cockpit scupper drain valve |
Boat Graphics |
Bottom Job |
Confirm condition/integrity of forward fuel tank prior to returning to service |
Confirm oven burner function, service as required |
Evaluate shaft strut, reinforce as required |
Install GFCI outlets as required |
Inventory all hose clamps and replace/supplement as required |
Repair electric bilge pump |
Repair generator fuel leak |
Replace stuffing box hose clamps-Service dripless stuffing box |
Secure leak in water pump under forward head sink |
Secure starter cable from chafe |
Solar |
Tune and secure lifelines |
Upgrade battery installation |
Upgrade/replace anchor chain |
Wind |
Cushions |
Deck re-caulking |
Dinghy |
Shrink Wrapping |
Some of the stuff I will be doing for myself, but some f the work I will farm out. The criteria I am basing the decisions are the fact that I want to sail the boat while I’m on leave in May.
