Well, the work starts. Pulled the prop and shaft today and will install a new one tomorrow afternoon including a new dripless stuffing box and bearing. Should be ready to drop back in the water by Wednesday afternoon. Will support masts on deck and motor down to Midland area where we will have a new bowsprit and pulpit installed as well as several new stanchions and some fibreglass repair. Hope to be headed into the Canal system by November 1st and get to the ocean by the 10th. Back on schedule for the trip south. Of course these are the best laid plans.
More tomorrow. Would like to hear the waves against the hull instead of the pier by this time Wednesday. Have a great day tomorrow.
Brett
