I finally get to spend a full weekend on the boat.
It feels good, sunshine, new job, Yes that's right a new job.
That is as soon as I enjoy some time off on the boat.
Here are some pictures of the latest projects that we have completed.

Barry and I doing some rope splicing

The new dingy davits and radar post with engine hoist.
It was too bad the 32 mile open array Furuno radar was already installed on the Mizzen mast.
Oh well we just installed a self tracking DSS satellite TV antenna instead.

It really cleaned up the stern rail. We moved the 2 GPS antennas also.
The biggest challenge was making the lifting system and mount for the 25HP outboard motor.
I know what your thinking " isn't the 25 HP motor a little much?"  Not on the Bushwacker.

I tested the dink on the davits, but Karen needs to make some
modifications to the dink cover before it goes on.

The dink is a Cribe 12' hard bottom.
With the 25HP motor it is very fast even with 4 people and Luke in it.

A few more shots of the fine work Alameda Prop did on it.
They do the finest stainless steel work in the area.

We can't wait for summer. The Bushwacker has really come a long way in two years.

Now can we go for a walk-walk?

On Sunday Bob Gay takes us for a little day sail on Convergence
