Since arriving in Trinidad it has been a nonstop whirlwind of work.
What is next?
Replace seacock to cockpit drain
Mark where slings will go – avoiding hollow area in keel
Chat with workmen from A & G
Dust + clean inside boat
Reorganize items stashed away in May
Clean + polish radar dome- polish stainless – untie wind generator
I had to climb up the top of radar dome to polish stainless, not good for someone who is afraid of heights
Wash + paint behind companionway
Replace battery water
Bottom finished
Fill holes then replace snaps for dodger
Paint cabinets in galley
Clean stainless – put up dodger + Bimini
Wash deck – admire polishing done by Perfect Finishes
Clean lazarette
Hide out of the midday sun in air-conditioned apartment
average temperature 90F- sometimes even in the boat
The only way to watch the Patriots Joe’s favorite barcaLounger
Prepare galley
Notice that something is missing
Take cold showers
Admire new refrigeration freezer covers – but they still need modification – do you notice what is next to the freezer?
Go food shopping – unpack it – put it all away Wash fruits + vegetables
Wash + polish stove – Hang grill on rail
Clean bilge
Uncover bed + prepare to move on boat
Put wheel back on
Rewire Radio for iPod
Store travel bags
Launch Little Wing
Have dinner with friends
Put main sail up – consider how new rain catcher will attach to sail cover
Watch the fish swim by
Hoist dinghy off boat – clean dinghy-clean cover – put lines in davits – hoist dingy out of oily water
Clean Port Screens + install after loosening screws
Getting there
This boat has been a bit too long on the hard
Now all we need is for our barrel to arrive
