We have been neglecting to write entries in this blog for months now...so let me fill in the gap: the kids' bunks and cabinets are in place, the floorboards in the galley and study are in place, the wall panels in galley and study are in place, the plumbing for fuel system is nearly complete, the primary and secondary winches (5 out of 7) , jammers, clutches, footblocks, organizers, mainsail traveler track, jib car track, staysail track, and most (4 out of 6) of the dorade vents are installed. And our lights have all arrived and the autopilot is installed. What else? Lots of little things too, like trying to figure out where we'll register her and all the bureaucracy that goes with it. We'll post photos over the next couple weeks so you can see the progress.
