Had a Sunny Day today--an 30 knot winds so it was quite cold. We fixed the binding rudder by adding some stainless steel shims to the turning arm bracket where it meets the rudder post--have a picture but no camera as I'm in the laundry room doing this post. I'll post it tonight--internet willing. Quick and easy job so the wheel no longer binds as we turn. Another problem solved.
We bought a new grinder for the forward head tank but with it being so windy, we are putting off the installation till it's a bit calmer--still blowing outside--20+ knots. The temperature is only about 55 at best and with the wind that strong, it really drops the wind chill temperature.
We started unboxing the new wind generator and putting parts together. Lots of parts but good instructions. Just going at it slowly and methodically. No rush--just do it right.
The kids don't care for the wind so while they go out, they don't wander to far. We still have to watch them but it's a lot easier when they don't run off.
Got to get back to work. Tracy is reorganizing the galley, etc. Having been on board for over a month now, it's much easier to see the priorities of what needs to be on top and what can be buried down in a storage cabinet that you thought you needed handy. I'm tearing into the Nav station and the workshop area. A big mess with so many jobs under way, the tools never seem to get back where they belong.
More later tonight--again, internet willing.
