Getting ready for the Bahamas
For the last few months, I've been working on Java to prepare for a eight month sail to the Bahamas. Boat has been hauled, sanded, new bottom paint. Found a bent strut that had to be changed. That turned into a major ordeal. New canvas, old canvas was 10 years old and leaking. Refrigeration, compressor died and have a new frigoboat and evaporator to install in the coming week. Installed a Dutchman boom break, no more fighting with a preventer... Upped the house battery bank to 640Ahrs, new starter batteries. Installed wind generator and solar panels. Only time will tell if all this was worth the effort...
