Our "secret" spot on the river. A nice private little spot with natural barriers to keep the doggies from wandering off, or others wandering in.
Just a bit of corrosion in there. Time to rebuild or replace the starter.
Working on rebuilding the cockpit seat and propane locker.
Once all the panels were trimmed to fit, i held them all together with some fence boards so i could remove the wall in one piece. Now I need to fiberglass the inside of the wall before reinstalling it permanently.
Sitting looking all that needs to be done... House flooded a while back. This triggered a lot more remodel than just the damaged floor.. Boat work has been put on hold for house work.
Ouch!
What a sad Friday, I was lowering the keel and lost the cable that was attached to the crank … And BOOM goes the keel against the boat ..😪
Work on the propane locker/lazerett/cockpit seat is progressing...
One more part complete. It was in pretty bad shape. It got enough water in the motor that it rusted enough to dislodge one of the magnets. Innards were rebuilt at the “factory”. When I looked up the info on the maker of the windlass, I was surprised to find they were 30 minutes away from me. When I took it in I got a tour of the machine shop as well…pretty cool, and way cheaper than buying a newer inferior model.... $500
