Progress Update: May 31st


(Eric prepping wood wall behind the stove)
  • All trim in the head and galley are installed.
  • The area behind the stove has been puttied, sanded, primed and painted.
  • Two access panels were cut under the bunk in the aft foreward cabin in order to reach the bilge and pump out the water from the plumbing leak. Pretty amazing how much sludge can build up over 45 years. All clean and dry now!
  • Plumbing leaks have been addressed and hopefully that ends any further problems.

Progress Update: May 18th


(Eric working in the day head)
  • Work in the day head is almost completed. The overhead is installed as well as the flooring. All that remains to finish the job is installation of wood trim for the flooring and an 18 inch  aluminum threshold. 
  • Wood trim for the galley flooring and cabinet have also been made and are ready for install.

Progress Update: May 4th


 (Eric drilling aluminum hatch rim)
  • The last of the galley overhead has been  completed! Eric is now working in the small day-head adjacent to the galley. He installed an exhaust fan above the sink and is currently working on the overhead panels. Flooring will be next.
  • Our tired boarding ladder needed another repair and is now working well again.
  • A two-burner alcohol stove was anonymously donated to us. It looks wonderful after a good cleaning with a scrub pad and NeverDull cleaner. Perfect for emergencies and can easily be transported ashore if needed.
