Ringing in a New Day

At least the bell is attached!

 It was a very productive day. The sun is so intermentant we take what we can. Today we did the following:

• Reattached the locker lids with the new nylon hinges.
• Wood puttied all the holes from the original cockpit hardware.
• Hung the ships bell
• Sorted and reorganized the the first aid kit. The new box is not as good as the old one for bulkhead mounting. 

In addition we have folding cup holders to mount, an idea of where the propulsion battery is going to go this season, and are ready for painting as soon as the weather cooperates. And with the truck out of the back we've shifted the vessel to allow mast raising in place In addition to all this I've decided I'm going to rewire the boat. The deadline is not so looming as it once once and we'll most certainly splash on time. Here's hoping the weather is good the next few days. 
 I keep meaning to film and take pictures but the truth is the projects I think will take days take minutes and it's far easier to simply get things done then figure out how to capture getting it done. I apolgize that the full DIY part of the blog is falling by the wayside but look for more visual content once we get on the water. Plans are afoot for some really cool work while we are actually sailing.
