We visited "SUNSHINE" to do final preparations for tomorrow's launch. We cleaned and washed the deck. We'll give the smooth surfaces a coat of wax later this week or perhaps while underway as we begin our next voyage.
In days past, we completed the installation of the new VHF radio and have wired it to the GPS to make the DSC function operative. We have also connected it to an external speaker so we now have a hailer. We're not sure what we'll do with a hailer, but the radio has the function so now, it's operative.
We installed the dodger which has been cleaned and waterproofed. We'll do the bimini and side curtains after she is launched.
The tramps have been reinstalled after restitching by Skip Moorhouse. Skip also put new zippers on the sail cover, so it and the mainsail are back in place.
Finally, we have inflated the dinghy and attached it to the new davit/solar panel arch.
I'll do some last minute items tomorrow while Anna Marie and Mom tend to some chores.
Launch is scheduled for 1400 hours. Derek, from South Harbor Marine (Mac's Dock), the company that serviced the engines, will be there to make final adjustments to the new shift cables. The boat should be in great shape and ready for our departure.
