LandfallVoyages

We just had a great visit from my dad, Ken. We walked and pedaled his ass all around Ensenada and he enjoyed it so much that he’s considering moving down here so his money will go farther.

Now it’s time to get the old boat ready for her biggest sail so far this century.

Finish procuring watermaker parts. Still need a valve, some hose, and some high pressure lines.

Fix the cabin top leaks and paint the poor thing so it doesn’t rain inside anymore.

Wire up a 110v outlet in the aft cabin so we won’t have electrical cords laying on the floor anymore.

Wire up the spreader lights so we have light on deck at night when we need it.

Cut the damned wind speed meter off of the top of the mast and float test it. I think it’ll sink. Then I’ll never have to look at it again!

Install and wire up the headlights for anchoring at night.

Install the new old port in the aft cabin.

Fix the existing outlets so they all work.

Cut the cords on the wifi router, the Island Time PC wifi antenna, and the external hard drive and wire them all through switches.

Put away about 8 tons of shit.

Stock up on food, we have about 800 miles of sailing to do in the next 3-4 weeks.

Get the bottom cleaned on the big boat and the dinghy, it looks like a seaweed salad right now.

Clean the white paint off of the waterline that the dumbasses on the blue shark boat got on it when they rinsed the oil based paint out of their brushes with my water hose right next to my boat.

Modify the boarding ladder so that it fits our boat and install it.

Install the LED light for the cockpit.

Replace the compass light switch.

Plus a whole mess of other things that I can’t remember right now.
