  • Eric built a radar reflector out of aluminum we had on hand.
  • We installed a new loud haler/horn signal unit.
  • We obtained and installed an Iridium Go satellite hub for weather and high seas communications. 
  • All our charts for the entire trip from our current location in Louisiana to the South Pacific destination are in.

Next up is to obtain cruising guides for areas we will be stopping in during our journey.

  • Almost finished tying up loose ends! The goal is to have the boat ready to leave as soon as the Lord opens the door. A couple small projects are left that need the table saw and then the last items connecting us to land can be sold or find a home. We will keep the truck till we actually leave. 
  • Eric took up the turtle hatch cover and re-caulked everything after a good cleaning and removed the old life-boat mount. 
  • We now have our burn barrel installed and ready to use. A special thanks to 'Bill' for welding the mounts that attach to the rail!
