While having a project list on a boat is just part of the gig, there is a point where it gets seriously like some work might actually need to get done.
The new masts, of course, are the big addition to the list and after that new sails to sew as well... Where it gets messy is the new masts require steps to be built and the deck areas require some serious beefing up. So far, still not so bad...
Well, except the CAL 34 has really big aft portlights which have been on the replace list, so maybe a good time to downsize a bit and since I'm beefing up the coachroof what better time to change out the portlights for smaller more robust ones and hey presto I can put two new wood/carbon beams and a demi-bulkhead in to reinforce the new mainmast partners...
Which, it would seem, impacts the galley area so what better time to finally install the new stove, move the sink and add a new icebox to the mix...
Which, of course, abuts to the battery area for the Electric Yacht drive... Some work waiting there for sure...
Which abuts to the Nav station which is going to need some rewiring... and as long as I'm messing with wire I just may re-install the SSB...
And so it does go...
Beats the hell out of shoveling snow or mowing the lawn!
