I am off to Havelock tomorrow to complete the final jobs on Siesta before Christmas. The pressure is on as I will be heading up to the boat for nearly a month on the 21st and I would rather be fishing than working on the boat, plus I need to be at work next week.
Anyway here is the todo list for the next 4 days....
- Get the boat hauled, hull cleaned and new anti foul and prop speed applied, plus new zinc anodes. This is after 14 months so it will be interesting and I am hoping there are no other issues found. I will post before and after pictures.
- Finish painting the sink cabinet in the cockpit.
- Sand and paint the walls in the shower.
- apply new decktread (Kiwigrip) to the swim platform.
- install new VHF and AM/FM antenna's on the mast.
- install a back up VHF radio.
- install multiple USB (Bluesea) charging ports throughout the boat to cope with the families charging requirements over the holiday. The joys of modern devices!
I will be doing everything except the work on the hull (I have a contractor for that work), so it looks like the next few days will be busy. Hopefully the weather will not interfere.
Photo's coming soon.
