Solo Sail Around Kitsap, Update 5.

Spend this last weekend working on the tedious projects that I really hate to do like sanding teak blocks, filling in nail holes on the dinghy seat, fabricating a jack line.  Spent time buying flashlights, some non perishable food, deep cycle battery, battery charger, and other things that have been on my list of stuff to get.

This weekend I worked on:

Finishing the inflatable boat seat box. Figured out how to fasten it to the wood floor of the dinghy, what to paint it with, and how to attach the hinge.

Buying more stuff to finish outfitting the boat.

Painted registration number on boat. Place annual sticker on boat.

Today I hope to complete:

Install outlet

Install battery charger

Charge Batteries

Paint aft bulkhead

No varnishing today... rain predicted... bummer

Bolt on Zodiac Bench after installing piano hinge and latch to top, and painting box.

Bolt on Anchor Cleat after varnishing it.

Install Jack Line

Stow safety lighting

Install cock pit item holders.

Plan meals (shopping list) for trip.

I think that should keep me busy for the day today.  Got to go to the gym first to work some of these muscle and joint kinks out.  Will update you all later on today as to my progress.


Campy Out!
