It occurred to me this morning that this blog is supposed to be about the restoration. Oops. I'm finding that I have a LOT more time now that I'm living aboard. In the evenings I try, a couple times a week, to work on some little project or another inside. I've shifted my priorities to

1. Safety
2. Habitability
3. Sailing

In that vein, I've spent quite a bit of time working on the problem with the battery well. I'm in the process of drying it out, and expect to resurface the interior this weekend, maybe even getting my new-to-me house bank installed.

On a whim, I decided to do some dc work the other night, wiring my rack lights into the cabin lighting buss. Photo attached is of my rack light, shining away. Woo Hoo! You may note the glare of the hull. That's the insulation I installed a couple weeks ago. It's a 3/4" thick underlayment insulation that flexes pretty well, enough to mold to the shape of the hull without cracking at all. It's working WONDERFULLY and has made a marked improvement inside the boat. Not sure what's going on behind it in the condensation department, but at this point I'm happy to be warm!
