Stowing Stuff

08 May 2013
Monday May 6th

Organizing… Everything came out of the storage spots in the salon and then went slowly and methodically back in again. Each compartment cover is labeled with a packing slip, identifying the contents of what lies beneath. There’s a whole mess of stuff down there!

Same treatment given to the under bed storage area – it’s amazing how much one can store when it’s organized right. Hopefully we’ll be happy with the placement of everything and avoid future moves.

In the afternoon, Neil Thurston came by and cut down the bimini frame a little – hopefully enough. I’ll raise the main as soon as the wind cooperates…

Tuesday: Work! My one day a week during May…
When I got home(!) we raised the main and bingo – the bimini is good to go. Now Neil can come back and measure for the remaining bits...
