The Projects Continue

The head/holding tank project will continue, in the meantime it is time to get the sails hanked on and the boat ready for some day and weekend sailing.  October is nearly here and the weather should start to cool down real nice and the sailing season will begin.  Like previous years, I sail and still do the work on the project list trying to complete those projects that are necessary before setting off for long distance.  The next big projects will be a redesign of the dodger and new canvas for the dodger and bimini, want to add some solar panels and I have an xtra wind generator that I would like to add too, I have one already.  Hopefully, next weekend, the sailing will begin.

Refitting for Cruising

The latest project is head and hose and tank replacement. I needed to replace the head so I went with a Raritan PHll. While the head was out it was a good time to replace the 10 yr. old hoses. Then I decided to check the holding tank since it is 30yrs. old and found some cracks so it also needed replacing. I got the new head installed and some hoses what is left is the hoses to the H.T. and the tank itself. I am hopeful that I can get this project done in a few weeks. Stay tuned for updates.
