The infomal comments and views of the boat……..hey that’s what I am a boat!

Wednesday ends and Thursday begins early getting work done as early as possible, then lunch with the boss and off again to the boat. The boat was a mess after the yard, it’s always like that. Sand everywhere from the yard, and everything piled high. You have to get into the tight little corners to get most of the work done and that seems to be where I store spare parts and equipment. So everything gets pulled out and piled on any surface, the work gets done and the parts get sorted, inventoried and put back away. I hate to think of the stuff at home that still has to be brought back down to the boat.
Thursday is a plumbing day, hooking up valve to hoses and making water systems come back to life. The day ends with two working heads, and a check showing no leaks on any of the hull valves that I just replaced! The reward is being able to have “a” beer and then sleeping the sleep of the just, onboard the boat.
Friday starts with a work morning, I mean a real job work morning, getting the stuff from the day before done. Finally back to boat work at two…….
Just because the yard period is over does not mean the work is done. The boat has to be scrubbed inside and out, and many systems are still OOC (Out of Commission) or reduced because all the new parts are not connected or tested yet. Sails still have to be checked, stitched and hung, and all systems tested and verified working. The new speed sensor for the Ray marine, and the new Ray marine fathometer transducer have to be hooked up. two of the three heads have been plumbed into the new sea valves. One more head has to be done. The auto helm system is going be refurbished or replaced.
Yesterday was the forward cabin and the main saloon. Both now are almost back to shape, not quite ready to go to sea but closer. I have 2 hours of cleaning and scrubbing in each of the aft stateroom and they will be cleaned for the summer. I have maybe 2 more hours in each of the aft stateroom and they will be ready for sea.
