Refit and headed south

[ishmael]

Our refit is finally complete and the list was extensive.  I can't believe we were able to get all this done since Aug.
New Chainplates
New Standing Rigging and halyards
New Harken MkIV unit 2 roller furler
Replace 90% of all the running rigging.
New wiring in both masts along with new steaming and masthead lights and new floods on both
Rebed all deck hardware
Stripped and varnished cabin sole and all interior wood
Cetol cockpit combing and hatch boards/trim
new Cal air conditioner water pump
new kyrocera 140 watt panel & upgraded to Bluesky MPPT controller
myriad of other minor repairs like impeller change, engine coolant flush and fill, bilge pump float switch replaced, and on and on.

After 6 years aboard the only things left to change out are the original Westerbeke and the fuel tank.  Both of which, I hope, are good for another year at least.

After a final rigging check we will head south this week.  Hope to see ya'll in the Bahamas this winter.

Great job on the refit!
Even though our rig is new last year, there are 59 items left on the refit list to do before we leave. Most are small, some are large (rewiring the boat!).  We plan to make it to the Bahamas by late January, guess I need to get to work!

Honestly....I think I had that many things on my list when we LEFT....
But Go Baby Go....
