It is getting exciting!

I just put the Christmas cards in the mail today. I sent out over 100 cards with this blog address on it so I suspect that a few folks will check in during the next few weeks. Welcome!!

I only post once or twice a month until we get closer to summer. When we leave on the trip in July, I will be posting regularly, probably daily. Until then, you get to hear about the stuff we are doing to prepare.

Last week the new canvas bimini was installed!! Yeah!! A lovely shade of teal green. They attached the canvas with a new system of sliding thingys (a technical term) so we no longer have snaps. This innovation should save us time and hassle as we put canvas up and down.

We just received pictures of the new swim platform made by Bill Gribble of PlasTEAK. The swim platform is about 22" wide and about 1 foot below the existing swim deck platform. You can't see it very well but a swim ladder is built in under the center section so we can open the ladder from the water - that is a safety feature!

Brad from Pflegar Marine will install the pretty red new generator next week. Then the electronics get installed the following week. By the end of January, everything will be installed. The last bit will be reupholstering the cushins and the curtains.
