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.
