Progress Update: February 1st

(New gear oil)

• The anchor windlass gearbox has been scraped, primed and painted. The motor has been rebuilt and reinstalled. 
• Eric has reconfigured the battery compartment that runs the windlass. Instead of one battery, there will be another for back-up and a switch will be installed for battery selection. A new charger for the batteries has been ordered and is on the way. 
• Moving the control box to make room for the second battery has resulted in more painting. This will be completed in a couple more days.
• The mainsail cover is back on with a new zipper and longer cinch straps. Re-configuring the lazy jacks took some time but everything came out fine.
• Mary continues to scrape and sand the outer teak as weather permits and Eric fixed another leaking port.
