The push has started!! We had workmen everywhere. The transmission guys showed up at 7:15 and went at it. We had to take the dodger(cover over the cockpit) down so they could get it onto the boat and down companionway(doorway-nautical term). We promptly left the boat to allow them full access without us being there. By the time we came back--1:00 it was in. At least almost. Still some mounting blocks to put in but we're a whole lot farther on than we were.
The electrician came sometime during the morning and started in also. He's tracking and connecting all the wires he has put in over the past month. We still have no power in most of our systems but he must be getting closer--right?
Gordon, one of the riggers came by to install the running back stay plates but with so many
workmen about, he pretty much gave up and will come back later in the week. They don't have to be installed till the rigging is ready to go up.
The photo at right is a reflection of myself from the hull of Zephyr. I waxed the starboard(right) side of the hull yesterday during the sunny part of the day. It's now so shiny, I can see myself. She sure looks beautiful. I hope to get the port-left-side done today, again, weather permitting.
We're still waiting for parts. Some have shipped, but not here yet.
Got to go now as I have to get Tracy up before the workmen show up. She doesn't get up easily early in the morning. She likes the weekends when she can sleep in.
