More holes in the hull



When I last counted there were 11 holes in the hull below the waterline (3 sinks, 2 cooling intakes, 2 toilet intakes, 2 toilet discharges, 2 transducers) which is an odd (and prime) number. Today there are an even dozen. The first picture shows the new one which will shortly sport a Forward Looking Sonar which will hopefully help prevent a repeat of our grounding in Belize. We are also replacing the old simrad depth and speed transducers with a new shiny NMEA2000 compatible one from Maretron which will hopefully be more reliable and play better with the rest of the electronics. These new toys unfortunately require lots of fiberglass work (being done by Bruno from the yard) and lots of cabling by myself (the 2nd picture). Not much else has been ticked off the todo list other than realigning the top steps so they don't rub (I have been slacking).

I have also started a small Wedding website; if you are interested in coming to our wedding I will try and keep adding more information about things to do in the area, hotels etc. It is a bit thin at the moment but we plan to add more information in the next few weeks.
