In October 2024, we cruised on our boat from Connecticut to SSI. Since then, we've been hard at work making numerous upgrades and necessary changes. Here's a rundown of what we've accomplished so far. However, there's still more to be done before we embark on our Loop adventure in a few years. We've compiled a list of needs and desires, prioritizing what must be done immediately and what can wait.
Professional Detail and Wax
Deep cleaning inside
Bought all new matching lines
Added storage bins, baskets and containers to maximize storage space
Installed new bilge pumps
Installed new induction cooktop
Replace GFCI in helm area
New AC units in 2 Staterooms
Recovered sofa in Salon
New bedding in 2 Staterooms
Installed New breaker for the retractable power cord
All batteries were tested
We have more to go before we start our Loop in a few years. We have a list of needs and wants prioritized by must do now and what can wait for a while.
Our next MUST DO project, scheduled for the end of April, is applying new bottom paint. We plan to take the boat to a different marina and have it hauled out for the necessary bottom paint application and a few additional repairs. Hopefully, this will mark the completion of our major projects for the year.
Below are a few snapshots from our April adventures.
