Thats a GO for start


We finally have the engine running! Now we can finish the electronics and Windlass. Friday we are having someone come to the boat and start welding the hard dodger together. Having a cover over the cockpit that will keep out the rain will really be nice. The one we have now only provides shade. It is finally going to get warmer this weekend. We can't wait!!!!

One protect is done!





Today Warren is finishing the boom:)


It was badly corroded, the only problem is they filled to many of the holes and we had to re-drill and tape them again. So now we can put our main sail up...OH wait, without our engine working I guess not! We are waiting on a part still. My Dad is helping with that, so everything gets mailed back and forth. It's so nice to have a father that is a great machinist!

We had a wonderful visit with Nancy & Tom Harris from Fairbanks. They had time to stop and see us after their cruise on a big sailing ship. The weather is cloudy and 64 right now not to bad:) We spend a lot of time driving around for things. Right now we are going to look for some marine wire and delrin plastic.
