To Do List

The to do list is getting a little shorter.

In the last two weeks we:
1. finished the V-birth matress cover.
2. Removed most of the broken wind meter from the masthead.
3. Removed the Compressed Natural Gas cylinder from the boat for re-fill.
4. Got the windlass to operate and the fuse figured out. It takes a 30 amp fuse.
5. When up the mast I discovered that the masthead TRICOLOR and ANCHOR light can take LED lamps (bulbs). But the light itself is old and sunworn and it may be challenging just putting it all back together.

There is always some backsliding on this chores, and here we have it:
1. It does not seem that the Compressed Natural Gas cannot be refilled anyplace locally. So we will either have to figure something out, travel a long distance to have it refilled, or switch to propane. The switch to propane may be very challenging. I do not know.
2. Erik raised me up the mast, but the screw holding the windmeter would not budge. I ripped the thing off with my hand, leaving a jagged piece of metal bracket on the top of the mast and the data cable hanging. I need to go back up the mast, hack saw off the metal bracket and cut the data wire so that I can pull it back through and out of the mast.
