What a Day

So I started off this morning around the house, fed the dogs and grabbed the keys and headed out the door to pick up the cushions from the lady at Disney, OK. I drove down 82 to 20 and came up the other way to bypass the dam bridge. If you only know one thing about me it's that I hate bridges. So I get the cushions with the exception that the only freaking one I need is not there? I counted 9 and I need 10, so I now need to locate the missing cushion. It can only be 1 of 4 places. I left Disney and traveled back to Ketchum to our boat, it was so dam hot out, I kicked the AC on and started removing the cushions from the SUV to the boat, I got attacked by a bee, and swatted him down with a cushion. Back in the boat I placed all the cushions in the correct places and I feel that the side cushions will just be in the way, I will consult with Kimberli on the matter later. I packed my stuff up and jumped in the car to head back to Tulsa, stopped for gas and realized I left or lost all of my money at home. I was 40 miles to empty and had to call someone to give me their credit card info over the phone to put gas in my car.

New instruments

I got the go ahead to spend a little money on new gauges, purchased off of eBay and I think I got one he'll of a deal on them. Datamarine Link 5000, full set- wind, speed, and depth tranducers that match our old units so no new holes in the hull. The gauges are square so I will need to figure what to do to install them. Maybe a thin stainless panel? The units have a helm station (3) gauges, forward gauges (4) and the main unit mounts at the nav. Station. I am really stoked to go up the mast and install the tranducer, it's only 60' up.

Fabric is in, new design

We got the fabric in the other day and we checked on our pricing with the seamstress at Grand. Holy cow she was out of the park, so we have again changed the provider for the cushions. We are replacing the foam and everything will be new so I gave JSI a call. Jane has been a great person to work with we made the deposit and have a design down. I now need to go and measure the old cushions and take them back to the boat untill the new cushions come in the mail- 6 weeks.

Genoa Cleaned

Took the genoa off of the boat a month ag and cleaned it with Spencer the other day. It cleaned up good and is still in great shape with the exception of some thread at the cover.



I am happy of the progress, I also got some new halyards from JSI-----
