This week we lose tools. No, Seriously we lose tools. In a span of 3 days, I lost 5 tools. How does that even happen?
We did start to prepare the boat for starting. After 9 months of sitting in the yard, it was time to start the engines again. It has been a long time, they started right up when we brought her down here, and we were curious to see how she would run when we started her. But before we did that, it was critical that we check the impellers and make sure she is going to get good water flow.
We also installed the hardware on the refinished wooden boom and cut the stainless steel bar that is used as a backing plate for the mainsheet traveler.
