It's a gorgeous, sunny, chilly day. I started out emptying cabinets aboard so that Derek will be able to start the electrical system work. I also visited Island Quest Marine Canvas to see about adding 6" to the main's sailcover, and replacing the forward windows of the hard dodger with soft plastic.

Derek then took over, finishing the plumbing by installing an anti-siphon valve in a loop of the raw water intake for the head. That's a good thing because yesterday he was pumping bayou water through the head three different ways and we noticed that with the intake valve in the "open" position, it definitely does siphon.

Later in the afternoon we took Grant on a field trip to an old (Spanish, then British) fort near here, Fort Barrancas.

It's pretty huge. The shocking part for us was that it was built by 50 people in 5 years. It's massive.
