Preparing to sail away

Rick sweats over the plumbing

cleaning the bilge

sun cover made from Camaro car cover

Alicia made a custom cockpit cover

Rick being an engineer made an excel spread sheet of all the tasks we needed to complete before our departure from San Diego. So here are a few pictures of only a small number of the jobs we checked off the list. Rick replaced all the fresh water plumbing and made improvements. I sewed 2 sun covers for when we are in lower latitudes, thanks to to use of a Sail Rite machine owned by Arlene, our neighbor. We had a friend, Alicia sew a bimini and shade cover for the cockpit. Dennis would be proud of me cleaning the bilge with a bottle brush until it shined.
