We had a very busy weekend. \u00a0Kinship has been launched and the mast is up. \u00a0Dave and the boys and girls at Loyalist Cove Marina<\/a>\u00a0lifted the mast on Monday afternoon capping a weekend of real progress. \u00a0For the first time this year we were able to stay on the boat, our cabin is usable even if the rest \u00a0of the boat is still a mess while we wait for the first water tank. \u00a0Though inside work took a back seat, we made lots of progress on the arch and exterior projects.<\/p>\n

\"2016-05-08<\/a><\/p>\n

On the arch, we have four working antennas for primary and backup GPS systems and the two antennas for the AIS. \u00a0Together with running the wiring for the stern light I think we have reached about the 50% point in the assembly of the arch. \u00a0 The wiring for all these systems goes to the port side and involves crawling a long way into the sail locker to get access. \u00a0It was very satisfying to turn on the plotter and see our position mapped and the AIS data from the ferries on the screen. \u00a0There were times I did not think I would be able to get everything back together, I am feeling a lot more confident now. We have the radar and wind generator to add next week and we need to sort out the mounting for the solar panels. \u00a0The wiring for these systems is easier to get to so I will not have to spend hours contorted in the far corner of the boat<\/p>\n

\"2016-05-07<\/a><\/p>\n

At the this point, my plan is to mount the panels on 1\/4 inch starboard and use some easily removable clamps to mount the panels to the frame. \u00a0This will allow us to remove them if we need to reduce windage for weather or storage.<\/p>\n

\"2016-05-06<\/a><\/p>\n

On the stern, we have mounted the fantastically expensive removable bracket system for the fantastically expensive Watt and Sea hydro generator. \u00a0For the record, the expensive parts did not include the stainless part, which was quite reasonable. Now we can have the dinghy on the arch without the risk of hitting the Watt and Sea. \u00a0A new folding ladder completes the cruising set up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
