So, project wrap up! It has been a long summer of pricey projects, some of which
were unexpected. What did we get accomplished? Here is the list—
1. New Achilles dinghy with Honda 20 hp power start and tilt outboard, two person seat and St.
Criox Euro helm.
2. SeaWise davit system installed
3. SCAD waste/fresh water tank monitor installed.
4. Victron Bluetooth battery monitor installed.
5. New house and start batteries installed.
6. New Maxwell HRC 10-8 windlass installed.
7. New below deck anchor locker created.
8. New anchor rode of 150’ of 5/16 chain and 100’ of 5/8 8 plait line installed in the anchor locker.
9. New raw water wash down system installed. Included pressure sensitive pump and 10’ of
water hose and sprayer in old anchor locker.
10. We will shortly purchase a trailer for the dinghy to haul it to and from the marina. It will winter over at
home. This will offer security and keep it out of the salt air.
Not a bad list! Much more than we ever intended but nothing we shouldn’t have expected
considering it is a boat! Next year the big expense (hopefully) will be to
repaint the bottom and reseat any through hulls that need attention.
