Over ther past two weeks I have been able to finish a lot of the painting of the sides and bottom of the boat, along with installing the windows. I also reset the way the boat sits on the trailer and added new lights, fixed the wiring, added a new tire, and repacked the wheel bearings. I also reinstalled the keel and hopefully it won't leak. The exterior is nearly complete, with the exception of the top deck. I installed the new lettering and test-fitted the mast and all the rigging to make sure it was in good working order. I also ran both sails up to make sure they worked well. I think it is as ready for the water as it can be for now.
After going on a big sailing adventure with a friend on his boat, and catching the sailing bug, I decided to get my own sailboat and have some more fun. The desire to continue sailing was still very strong. I plan to continue sailing with my partner Lori, her daughter Jane, and friends.
