It is now the end of May and we have been doing nothing but repairs! Here is the list!!!
Sand the bottom and put on 3 coats of anti-fouling,
Replace the cutlass bearing,
Paint the boot and top stripe,
Clean the rest and put on 3 coats of wax,
Clean and coat the prop,
Take off the pulpit...yes... take the pulpit off and weld the cracks that we found,
Replace said pulpit...much more work than taking it off,
Replace all the running rigging,
Add "Port of Winnipeg" To the stern and finally,
put everything back together for the next phase of the trip which was, going to False Creek which is downtown Vancouver!
Once again, Gary came for the trip as he knew the area well. Not a bad thing to have someone on board with experience. Next, the False Creek experience and another install.
