More “coming along” with projects. David is putting in the shore power charging system along with a few 120V AC outlets (workroom/engine room, charthouse, galley). Next is the 32V/36V system for windlass and bilge pumps. The 12V lighting is waiting for us to launch before it gets installed.

I’m continuing my quest to seal, oil, varnish, paint or epoxy every surface of the boat both inside and out. My big excitement is painting the two foot dry section of exhaust piping and finally finding a good supplier for the removable insulation system it requires!

Oh yes, I’m also learning how to do Liverpool splices in wire rope. See the Square Rigger site for step by step instructions here.

We’re waiting on a mail order sheet metal brake so that David can finish up the “surround” for the galley stove. We’re also waiting on lots of bronze bolts and other fasteners from CC Fastener. Order made 10/31 and still not here, argh! The time we’ll wait for the 75% off wholesale pricing…

More later 🙂
