Looking Through the Portholes

Something I absolutely love about this boat is the portholes. For about 9 months we’ve had the winter cover on and haven’t been able to see out from the galley; I am so happy to be able to see out of them again!

New Slip

We are now settled into our new permanent slip at the harbor. The view is excellent as we’re often treated to dozens of eagles, herons and various sea birds perched on the breakwater.  While I love the view, the best part about this slip is that it is very easy to get into.

Eagles.... I count 13 in this section

Interior Pictures

The interior/cabin area is getting very close to being done.  The space is finally usable and we’re settling back in. 

In the galley, you can see the area between the top of the walls and ceiling still needs to be finished, two more lights need to be installed and the cabinets need to be built and hung.

The inside speakers have been installed both in the galley and up in the wheelhouse and the satellite radio system Josh got us for Christmas is up and running. 

The wheelhouse just needs a little more trim, the radar re-installed and the various wires secured.

TA DAAAAA!!!

On July 3^rd, before we headed over to the Intermediate Vessel Float for the fireworks, we had the massive task of removing and/or organizing everything that was still on the bow of the SHAD and taking down the winter cover. 

We made short work of the chopping up the remaining 2x4’s and trim and what wasn’t treated or stained will be used for firewood.  Everything else was either thrown away or stowed in the shop or head.

Dave and Paul worked on taking down the winter cover while I was out running errands and when I returned, it was pretty much down.

Woo! Hoo!! We have been covered since November of 2011; it was nice to finally see ‘er uncovered!
