Well hello again and welcome back to our update for February and the projects that we completed. We once again had a huge list of items to complete and that list just keeps growing and growing or at the very least we are breaking down the projects a little more into manageable pieces. Things are slowly coming together. We have had days where everything comes together and other days where just nothing goes right and we are fighting just to finish one thing. We have learned that when we have the difficult days to just stop, call it a day and just relax.
Time keeps slipping away on us. My goal for 2023 is to try and stay more current on the update and progress for SV Free Spirit. Keep in mind that Andy and I are both still working full-time and with trying to work, add more work to the boat, mange our home and kids and just staying up on life, some things are forced to take a back seat. That being said, I have forced myself to slow down today and get the updates out to you all that are curious about what is going on.
Let me first say there is just never enough time in the day to keep up on everything. I am so sorry this is so far delayed so I am doing one huge dump of photos from November and a list out the things that we were able to accomplish. Let me say that I am so happy with the progress that has been done to date.
Well after not having the ability to work on the boat for the past month, we are finally able to get started working on boat projects again. We have only been able to take and drop items to the boat along with items there were ordered and delivered for next projects. Today comes another drop off as I don't see how we will be able to get anything done today but if you are wondering, here are the plans for the rest of the year for our projects: Boat needs to be grounded and galvanic isolator to be installed, plumbing goes in, Water connections from outside now come into the boat, poop box gets installed, we need to move the battery switch so we can install the hot water heater, install the galley sink and counter tops, install a fully functioning head (yes, sink, plumbing, toilet and shower are up next!), figure out if we can convert the twin beds in the aft (master cabin) and covert that to a king bed. Also, dingleberry needs some patches. We found leaks when we were cleaning her before the hurricane.
After surviving the hurricane, we decided to leave for Annapolis early. We will be stopping in Savannah, GA for a few nights and then head out to VA to visit family before our final destination in Annapolis, MD for the largest US Sailboat Show.
