Ok, up until this point, all the pictures have been grouped by project.  But, now we're getting close to the end, and we don't have much extra time, so here are the pics up until our last day in the boatyard.

We had a welder come and make these flexible feet for our radar arch permanent and stationary - much stronger

They also welded on these ears so that we could rig up some cross bracing

The transom is a mess, but changes are happening

The anti-siphon vent for the raw water circuit was rerouted to the cockpit.  The check valve keeps water from going out, but lets air in.

Clear plexiglass was mounted to protect the wiring in the lazarette.  Things move around a little in big seas 

The little silver vent cap is where the anti-siphon vent enters the cockpit

The watermaker pre-filter and high pressure pump

The prop is painted and two more zincs are on the way

Watermaker switch epoxied to wall

Mike, still working on his hole.

Enough already, let's just paint it!!

Where'd it go?

Freshly painted

The welders knocked up a mount for our outboard too

This "handy billy" is rigged up to help get the outboard on and off the dinghy.  The Honda weighs about 105 lbs.

These padeyes were installed in the transom to complete the crossbracing for the radar arch

The hole has disappeared!! Mike is a proud papa.

Crossbracing for the radar arch after installation

Next, we installed a freshwater shower in the transom.  Great for rinsing off after a snorkel session or a day on the beach.

Now, Mike has some crazy idea about some shelves???

When the cardboard comes out, he's serious

Created and epoxied to the hull

Eureka, it worked!

Perfectly sized for 6 waterproof storage boxes.  Now, how did that happen??

 

Then, two extra cleats in the cockpit

These padeyes were installed for jacklines.  Helps keep you on the boat.

 

 

Our last day or two in the boatyard, we started provisioning

Today's the day!!

Applying our hailing port letters

Here comes the travel lift
