Here is the first draft of our boat project list. It is still a work in progress. In fact, since printing the list below, we added new items 53-70. No doubt the list will grow to 100 items before we are done.
This morning I completed #18 and #7. Libby is mostly through with #32, #45, and #70.
Yesterday I ordered materials for #30, the non-skid deck resurfacing. Just the materials cost $300; yikes! Ithink that is the biggest of the projects.

Your comments on nonskid got me thinking about an artificial teak to replace the real stuff on Robin, which is awfully worn and must be a source of the dampness that often invades the forepeak and V-berth. I don't see on your list of projects an indication whether you've dismissed the idea of artificial teak. I'll be interested to learn your thoughts on the subject. My limited research so far doesn't answere any number of questions I have, particularly concerning durability of the various products. Has anyone you know with a Westsail gone that route?
ReplyDeleteSorry Dick,
ReplyDeleteJust getting back to reading after a few days of being away. Regarding #4, "Buy a car", that seems a decidedly lubberly thing to do, particularly amongst all of those boat projects. You're not moving ashore, are you?

P.S. Doesn't seem like you can lash it to the foredeck ;-).
Uh... just read last Monday's blog entry which explains the car thing. Wish I had done so before I had posted the previous comment. ;-) Cruising by car sounds like a great idea and I can imagine that after spending so much time on a boat a little terra firma might be a welcome respite. I wish you luck in your land travels, and whatever your adventures might be I look forward to reading about them here.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bob
