Thanksgiving Fun

The past week has not felt very productive as it involved lots of eating, some drinking, with a lot of part ordering and manual labor in between. Laura has been slaving away repainting the headliners which previously looked awful full of mold and stains. Matt has been doing lots of small odds and ends as well as slowly piecing the interior back together.

                                         
                                          The dinner spread

                                          The forward cabin

                                       

                                           The nearly complete aft cabin...just turn your head a little

It feels like the work list has not gotten any shorter. Each time I cross ten things off I add eleven other things. The big stuff we have left is as follows:

- Rebuild the Aries wind vane

- Get propane tanks test the stove/ oven and get a grill

- Install all the main salon head liners and put the rest of the interior back together

- Install new stainless deck hand rails

- Put on new exhaust hose for engine

- Install new alternator for generator and test operate

- Install new electronics (gps, vhf, ssb receiver, some sort of system to send and receive email at sea, a kicking stereo system so we can rock out

Hopefully many of the parts and pieces we ordered in the past 2 weeks will arrive this week which will keep Matt busy installing it all. We are itching to get off the dock and go somewhere soon!
