Sailing Away

Sailing Away as our Journey continues!  Final preparations were made in the last few months to our bottom paint, our cutlass bearing,  our Monitor Steering Wind Vane, and our water maker.

 

On the hard at Schooner Creek Boatworks in Portland, OR for final bottom paint.

Not the easiest jobs, but an important one sanding the bottom.

They found that the cutlass bearing was cut and scored to the point that it needed replacement. Fishing line was wrapped around the shaft!

The Monitor windvane is like having an additional crew member for steering!
