The Spartite has to set for 48 hours before any load is put on the mast so the shroud lines are all still loose for the next couple of days to ensure that we have a tight fit between the mast and the deck coupler. Our next project - is the Kiss Wind Generator. We took it out of it's packaging and Wayne started going through the manual and notes. He got the main support for the wind generator cut but couldn't go any further because the bolts to mount it to the deck aren't included in the parts. So it looks like a trip to town tomorrow.

The inside of the boat looks like a hurricane hit. Everything had to be unloaded from the quarter berth (our garage) so Wayne could access the back part of the hull/toe railing to attach the generator and struts to the boat so there's very little room to walk or sit anywhere.

Tonights menu - grilled salmon, salad and rolls. I normally have spinach with the salmon but alas we have none. It was still a tasty meal (if I do say so myself). The spinach pie will have to wait until we go home again - I just can't do it on the boat...
