You Got It! More Work!

This report is for Sunday and Monday, September 13 & 14, 2009

Hey, are we having fun yet? Actually, we are. Preparing the boat for an extended cruise is a lot of work, but it is fun too! Unfortunately, we're running out of time so, when we have the opportunity to make the three hour drive to the boat, we work at a frantic pace while we're there.

On this trip, we arrived (Sunday, September 13, 2009) at about 1630 hours and we'll have to leave by 1330 hours tomorrow (Monday, September 14).

Tasks underway:
> Anna Marie prepped the surface, previously carpeted, in the companionway, galley and navigation area for painting.
> Bill began some fiberglass repairs (starboard bow, both keels and a few minor areas on both transoms) and compounded the outside of the port hull.
> We'll need to finish the fiberglass repairs and the compounding and waxing by September 21 because we have scheduled the yard to paint the bottom on that date.
> We scheduled SUNSHINE's splashing on September 22.
> On September 23, we are scheduled to arrive at Edward's Boatyard for the motor installation.

We may be able to do some waxing while the motors are swapped out. We hope to have enough time to "break" the motors in according to the manufacturers specs.

That's about it, We're getting down to crunch time!
