Preparing to Sail
Final organization
Yesterday and today we spent shopping, cleaning up the boat, and putting
everything away. After several months in port there's a lot to put away.
We are looking forward to the open ocean! We need to clean the dinghy, fill
up water, fill up fuel, check all the cabinets and storage lockers for
things that might roll around, look in all the bilges for anything we
might have lost, Check the sails, the lines, the tackle, and the engine.
We need to make sure all the radios and navigation equipment works and that we
can get weather off shore. We need to check for corosion on any grounds
make sure that our maps and charts and computers are up to date and accessable easily.
We need to check our wet weather gear and our first aid kits. We are
checking that nothing is chafing on the drive shaft or the throttle cables
and that our batteries are secure and the electrical lines are not chafing.
For now it's late and time for bed. We will continue this for the next
couple days. G-night!
