26 days to launch
26 days left and work progresses slightly ahead of schedule. Last weekend Nick, Ragi and I got the first of 2 coats of cetol on the teak. This weekend we varnished the doors and the table. Nick sanded down the reefer cover to bare wood and we put on a coat of cetol. We also set up the nav system and tested all of the electronics, reinstalled the laptop (hence the blog), updated software, etc etc. Brought the new gennie onboard, did some general clean-up, cleaned the stancheons, took the dodger to have the awning fitted, brought the cigars and poptarts onboard. Cleaned up the windlass solonoid, replaced the cabin lights with LEDs, replaced 2 of the fixtures, installed the ipod, activated the xm radios.
