A small restart.

Yesterday I managed to finally get restarted on Akupara!!

As I thought I was a bit disorganized as we have definitely lost our rhythm. Oh well, I managed to get some more painting completed, I did a fair bit of organization of tools that had managed to grow legs and hide all over the boat.  I also got the upper cupboard reinstalled on the starboard v berth. Amazing how you can remove a bulkhead and replace it with a new one in the exact same position and yet somehow the next piece is just a little too big. I absolutely love my oscillating multitool, it comes in so handy in so many different ways and this time I used it to make precision trims of the cupboard!

Since we are starting to close things back in temporarily, it all needs to come back out for the sanding of the liner, I also started making the wiring harness for the new windlass. Akupara came with just enough heavy duty new wire to get this done.

My random orbital sander has died and will require a replacement or two as we will need it in order to continue.

And last but not least we have a few stowaways. A lovely little nest of wasps has taken up residence under the shrink wrap.  I will destroy the little stinging bastards this week!

We are in the middle of a heat wave in Vancouver right now but thankfully inside Akupara is not that bad, but it is almost impossible to work under the shrink wrap on deck. The only advantage is that Akupara is as dry as a bone.
