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
Airborn!!
A strange sight
Two very happy people
