2011 Projects

Haven't posted here in a while but thought I would provide an update on projects undertaken during 2011. Most of these were related to the fact that I actually lived aboard from May to August on the hook off the East Beach of Santa Barbara. It was an interesting experience, to say the least, with kayak-commuting each day to work, a mugging aboard the boat next to me, boats breaking free or dragging during spring wind storms, and battling sea lions wishing to haul-out and befoul the boat and kayak. Here is a list of of 2011 projects completed:

1) Stern anchor hawse pipe, storage, fairlead and associated remounting of stern danforth anchor.



2) VHF Antenna install.

3) Solar panel and charge regulator installed.



4) Mast gate fabrication and install.



5) Remove, inspect, re-install starboard chain plate with oak backing plate, add on-deck epoxy riser around chain plate hole, and re-seal with butyl tape, as was done for port side in 2010.
