Rudder! (And Swab)

The weather is not cooperating for outside the boat work. Condensation on the tarp means it's basically raining INSIDE the tent. Moving work to the inside of the boat for now...which is needed desperately! I've been neglecting the inside too long. Time for some clean-up before deciding what project to work on. Wiring? Fuel lines and mounting new tank? So much to do...

Winter mode activated! Hardtop installed until warmer days return. The hardtop is so much warmer, dryer and quieter than the soft top! #triumph #tr6 #dailydriven #cars #classiccar #petrolicious #drivetastefully

Fiberglassing the deck has finally begun! Been a while since I posted anything here...not that anyone is listening! 🤪🤣

Found another picture of Farley's boat, Happy Adventure. #sailing

I have not been working on the boat much lately. Time to get back on it!

Sitting looking all that needs to be done... House flooded a while back. This triggered a lot more remodel than just the damaged floor.. Boat work has been put on hold for house work.

Very nice Formosa 51 / Hudson Force 50...

Our "secret" spot on the river. A nice private little spot with natural barriers to keep the doggies from wandering off, or others wandering in.

Progress is slow, but still progress

Progress... #formosa41 #sailboat #boatlife #chihuahua #restoration #refit

Cut out the holes for the portlights on the galley side. Can't wait to finish the port side so I can cut that side. Down below already feels so open with just the one side done. One more step forward...so many more to go!

Working on light placement. I think four will be plenty over the dinette table. So much brighter than the old single one, and being LEDs, half the amps!

Working on a prototype for my new light fixtures. A little sanding, round over the edge and a few coats of varnish and they'll be awesome!

New tank for Paradise!

Diesel tank sprung a leak. I had planned on replacing it anyway, but what a mess!
