It’s Been a While

Well it’s been quite a while since our last update. I (Dave) lost my Father to cancer in October so I spent a few weeks back home with family.

We are back at it getting the boat ready, lots done, lots to do. We have adjusted our departure to the 21^st of November. Not a lot of narrative on this one.

Been spending hour after hour in front of this:

 Emptied my third spool of thread, 1000 yds per spool:

 Bought a new grill:

 So I had to sew a new cover for it:

I sewed an awning for some shade. The awning is four panels which total 17 feet long by 13 feet wide. First panel:

Really helps keep the boat cool:

I am also sewing an awning for the bow to keep the sun off the front of the boat (pictures to follow):

 Also made these window covers for the dodger to stop the degradation of the plastic windows:

I think they came out pretty nice and they keep the cockpit cooler as well:

Got a new TV, didn’t sew anything for that:

Still working on the interior wood. This was probably the worst area, now…:

Disgusting sticky wall cleaned and starting to sand:

Boom:

What a difference:

So much more inviting:

 Golden glow is so much nicer than brown and sticky:

 …more to follow.
