My wallet is a little lighter this week. I ordered new Trident exhaust, fuel, and seawater, hoses for the new engine plus hose clamps and 3" 90 degree FG elbow for the exhaust system. They will be here Friday for the weekend install. Mike of Appleby Marine was helpful in sourcing out the exhaust system parts www.applebymarine.com
West by North Enterprises in BC is supplying a new Cambell Sailer 18X10 propeller and Aqualmet 22 propeller shaft. They should be delivered in about 2 weeks.

The new sheaves for the main and mizzen masts and Torlon ball bearing for the Facnor main sail furling system should arrive early next week so I can complete the work on the masts. Janice at Pride Marine has been very helpful.

All this work is on top of regular spring fit-out work.
I guess it will keep me out of trouble for the next month
Just a side note
I have no vested interest in the any of the above companies just want to honor people who have helped me.
