We came into this off-season with great plans to get a lot of work done on the boat – so far, we have gotten approximately nothing accomplished!  It has been oh so cold and rainy this year, making being at the boat no fun (especially since installing the heater is one of the must do projects).

This past weekend we finally made a jump into getting started.  I have been getting around to sewing a new cover for the Lifesling for months.  First I had to no particular desire, then I needed to order Phifertex.  When that came in the Christmas Tree was up and I really didn’t have a good space to work because of it (uh huh, excuses, excuses!).  Then I decided that I needed a hot knife to really do the job correctly and got that ordered.  Then, when I finally had all the supplies and the space, I just didn’t wanna!!  Well I finally got over that this weekend and dove into getting it started – and actually finished it.  It is far from perfect – but a heck of a lot better than the old UV damaged cover!

Owen also braved the boat for a bit on Saturday to start to make a plan for the heater installation.  We are at the Vancouver boat show this coming weekend – which usually means yet another big job to be added to the list – this year it will likely be an electric windlass and new chain!

Hopefully, the weekend after the show will have some progress being made on the heater install – or any one of the million other jobs!
