Boat Status

Am currnetly pulling all of the hardware off the deck, patching and sanding as I go, to get ready for paint.

The decks were painted previously with one-part polyureathane, so I will using that as well.

The traveller will be upgraded, and I am going to finally install the remote mic for the VHF radio.

I am trying to figure out how to fund the purchase of an auto pilot. I would like to go with RayMarine electronics and a Lewmar chain drive system, but I will probably end up with a Simrad wheelpilot. ($2300 versus $800 - not to hard to see what will happen.)

I should get a digital camera and post photos, but I doubt that will happen.
