Work’s done and heading north!

Sorry for the absents for so many months but this working for a living get’s tiring. For the last 2 months I’ve been on a 7 day a week / 12 hours a day work schedule. That’s the bad news the good news is a lot of “stuff” got done to the Goose. Here’s a few of the changes to the old girl.

New wineglass box for Anna

 Re-chromed the ports (all eleven of them)

fresh from the chrome
Anna waxing the new ports
Rebuilt the fiberglass top to the dodger

































Replaced the old “rusty’ porthole screens with fiberglass screens
Galvanized the 2nd anchor chain and both anchors. Upgraded the main anchor to a 110 lb monster!

 
And lots of deck repairs
 

 
 
























Rebuilt out cabin heating system
 
New dinghy I’ve named “Anna’s folly” (long story)
New batteries and upgraded to 1000+ amp hour storage capacity
Rebuilt the FW water tank
Replaced the radio, TV, added more LED lights
Upgraded the main bilge pump to a 3600 gph monster
Rebuilt the FW water tank
We didn’t get the whole list done but this year we did take a big bite out of several of the big projects that were on the list. Tomorrow Anna takes the pink car and heads to Ky. to see the kids, grand kids and the great grand kids. The next day my friend Ralph and I will start north to the Chesapeake Bay for a short cruise where we will leave the boat for the next couple of months.
