Nav Station

  
 Nav Station is Complete 
  
 I'm posting this from our SSB 
  
 When we use the SSB we have to turn off the refrigeration.  It makes a ton = 
 of electronic noise! 
  
 The Navigation system is now complete and we're continuing to organize the = 
 boat getting ready for our shakedown cruise. 
  
 The iCom VHF just came in and we put it in the pre-set hole we had cut = 
 waiting for it.  We will keep the little B&G VHF radio for a spare but now = 
 the nav station looks like we designed it to.  I was surprised that it = 
 came in.  There had been a long waiting list for them to ship from iCom. 
  
 It is my Mother's birthday today so we will be taking a bit of a break = 
 this weekend.  WE were polishing the new gelcote on the cabin yesterday = 
 and I think Monday we will be mounting the dinghy on the top.  That is the = 
 last part of this boat yard journey and then we'll start a new work list = 
 as we learn how Grace sails off shore.  We are very excited to start the = 
 journey.
