| 13 Feb 10. A pile of rope.
|
 |
We got most of our running rigging and the
solar panel mount this week from our friends at
Third Coast
Composites.
So I have been climbing in and out of the boat for the past 2 years by
stepping on an overturned milk crate, with the plan that the cooler would
go there. So I put the cooler in place and realized that I will need to
make a platform for it to sit on. So it's time to break out the saw,
scraps of plywood and get creative. I also worked on a fix for the Windex.
I pounded off the fitting from the rod and epoxied it to a piece of carbon
fiber rod I had left from the keel lay-up. Not only is it longer but it
weighs 4.2 grams less.

| 01 Feb 10. Has it
been a month?

Since the last update? It's been a busy month,
but not so on the boat. I did manage to find time to run the mast wires
and anchor them at the top. I then attached the all the stuff ( nav lt,
strobe lt, windex, vhf ant, wind sensors ) to the top of the mast and
hooked up the wires. All went well until I stuck the windex in place and
found that it would not clear the strobe light. I had made sure it would
clear the antenna, but forgot how high the strobe sticks up.
