Progress

No turning back now, both cars are sold!  Thank you daughter for loaning us the Prius back for a few weeks.  We have sold lots of "stuff" the last few months but still have a couple of prizes left! 

Johnson 9.9 hp outboard.  It was just serviced.  $795 OBO
Dingy trailer - $250
90 feet of anchor chain and spliced 100 + feet of twisted nylon rode in good condition - $95

Call King to negotiate.

The boat looks about as bad as I have every seen her...........so we must be making progress!  She is no longer the "boat with no name".  Cliff and I bravely took on the job of moving stencil letters from paper to boat.  Good grief.  Who wrote those directions!  Regardless of our angst, Ostinato III is now on the starboard bow.  Tomorrow we tackle the port bow.

The last couple of days have been busy.  New chain was installed on Saturday morning, the watermaker is in and operational and 2 new solar panals have also been installed.  Battary cables have been upgrade, high water alarms and smoke detectors installed and cables for lifting the dinghy are in process.

    Wishing you a Bon Voyage and smooth sailing. The weather in Albany NY is absolutely gorgeous today. Hope you have the same in your area.
    We will enjoy following your progress. I am at my Dad's (Charlie Fries' house) right now and he sends his best regards.
