v-berth

this is the next area where I want to work and do some of the painting and just making sure that everything is a 100%. Right now this is where I sleep with the dogs.

great meals

we spend so much time in the galley and I really don't know why but it must be all the great food which had been prepared over here. Darlene is a fantastic chef.

wheelhouse

Darlene likes to sleep here and when we have a guest they can share the room because starboard side opens up to a single bed.

Fabricating wall coverings

Made the coverings for the pantry and guest bedroom from oak plywood. More caulking and priming everywhere.

Spent an hour's worth of back-and-forth talking to Buddy Purcell, owner of Huckins Yachts about the couplings and asked about the manifold bilge system. He said only one was built (for the Navy); a very elaborate system that allows for the engine vacuum to assist in emptying the bilges.

Talked to Bob at Underwater Maintenance to get divers to replace the bolts which hold the zinc plates so this can finally be hooked up correctly to prevent all the corrosion.

pictures for Peter Kelly in NY

after everything is painted in the guest room will the same theme look all right?
