It's the first week in June and I don't think we've had temperatures above 70f. In fact, last weekend there was a frost warning in Duluth. I guess we've been fortunate to not have time to go sailing. I have had time, however, to get a lot of work done wrapping up all the wiring I still needed to do.
So far this spring I've been able to:
- Install Garmin 19x GPS antenna (NMEA 0183)
- Installed NMEA 0183 for my 2nd GMI 10 instrument display
- Install ports to make the cockpit speaker connections better
- Wired up an additional cockpit light
- Wired up lights including
- Masthead tricolor (which had never been wired so that was exciting)
- Bow navigation lights
- Steaming light
- Anchor light
- Installed iCom AIS receiver
There's still a handful of items I need to wrap up:
- Wire up additional 12v outlet
- Wire task light in galley and over nav station
- Clean up all wiring
- Install Garmin 547 Chartplotter
Not to mention:
- Finish and install dodger
- Finish interior cushions
- Make cockpit cushions
- Make lifeline cushions
- Make mast boot
- Install winch covers
- Make helm cover
- Finish varnishing and install cockpit table.
And of course, the Wish List:
- Radar
- Autopilot
Always stuff to do on a boat!
