Feels like wading through treacle, but we have some more yard labour on the job now and they are ripping through the stripping work. There is a public holiday coming up on Monday, so don't expect to be in the water until Wednesday now.
Decided that the existing bilge pump setup was less than acceptable so we are in the process of installing new pumps and plumbing. Everything else has come together well. Richard and Rick started pulling the prop off today and found that the cutless bearing is shot, so good thing we decided to pull it. Richard has installed the transducer for the new sailing instruments, and we will start wiring things up over the weekend.
So close...!

| Wayne caresses the rudder. A man has needs... |

| Contrast of the new planks with the old planks. The old planking is in phenomenally good condition. |
