CS34 Progress

Our friends and celebrity sailors Mike and Wendy on Ohana were visiting the club on their way east.  They were featured in this month's Ontario Sailor as they have retired, sold all their landly possessions, and sailing out the St Lawrence and down to the warmer waters of Florida, Bahamas, and Caribbean. 

Took the opportunity with their help and John from the club to get the mast up.  We took our time and made sure the wires going down the mast didn't get pinched.  I quickly hooked up the wind transducer cables and voila, celebrated with a beer with Mike.

Getting back to the slip, spent the rest of the night:

• tuning the rig
• mounting the boom and vang
• putting sails on
• hooking up outhaul and reefing lines
• running the lines back to the cockpit
• hooking up anchor/steaming/deck lights
• cleaning up wiring in salon
• cleaning up wiring in aft cabin
• mount man overboard pole

Meanwhile, Rita was cleaning the insides like the Dutchwoman that she is.

Still have lots to do before leaving for Toronto on Friday:

• cleanout cockpit lockers
• cleanout nav table
• remove tools and junk from boat
• hookup instrument bus to circuit breaker
• cover hole from bulkhead instruments
• mount BBQ
• check engine oil
• wash deck
• wash cockpit
• pump out
• re-mount toilet seat
• re-attach several bulkhead panels removed for wiring
• assemble cockpit table
• bring and blowup dinghy
• dinghy motor
• provision for the weekend

Feeling a little less overwhelmed!
