These new LED lights in the main salon WORK!
A lot of "small" jobs are underway: if we get the wiring done, we can finish the interior decorative cladding. The exhaust piping is lined up and tack welded, the parallel head exhaust is shaping up, wiring is ready for the new battery system (3 small batteries instead of the giant back-breaking truck battery). I am finding all the little places that never got insulated, and insulating them. There are bits lined up for the shower pump-out system, the refrigerator, and the sink in the head.
The interior will be much brighter interior than the original "Black Pearl", with white cladding and light wood trim. I have made sofa cushions of brown leather, and mattresses of mixed quilted upholstery fabric.
There is a great photo of John hanging upside down in the bilge: I call it "boat yoga"! But it is a little dark, and anyway this one is a better illustration of the real joy of a good big project for enlivening retirement years!
