We are now living on the boat fulltime, we haven’t launched yet so there’s lots of ladder climbing to get on and off. The weather has changed, it’s got much colder, night time it gets down in the 50’s and up in the 70’s in the day time, and warm blankets are definitely needed for sleeping. The work continues on the boat, we have installed a new SSB radio, replaced the engine raw water pump, installed a new battery monitor which involved rewiring to the batteries, we will install a new house bank and starting battery before we launch, also replaced a bunch of plumbing hoses and such and are now redoing the outside wood work. This year we had the hull painted with awl grip paint, it was done with the roll and tip method, a very nice job, you would think that it was sprayed on-it looks that good, we have received lots of favorable comments about it, the boat almost looks brand new- at least for a little while
