Winter upgrades

[speedo]

New solar, fridge and water maker are in, Thursday she's going to get the roof extended and two mini split units installed...then the Admiral will commence decorating in earnest.

Heading out for a lunch cruise tomorrow while power is going to be off at our home. Refurb company will move her to their site at another marina on Thursday.

I may have mentioned in another thread that I acquired a sailboat over the winter - it’s a bit of a mess. Hoping to rebed the deck hardware and windows, replace the cabin sole, replace the running rigging, refinish the interior teak, and paint the topsides from waterline up to the rub rail.

thinking about pulling the mast, and replacing everything up top - but probably saving that for next year.
