Instead of working inside which was the original plan we ended up helping prep the RC boats for this upcoming season. Basically all we did was clean them up and put all the gear back on them. They are all cleaned up and we splashed one of them.
After that we ate the free meal that OCBC provides after the work days. Basically just some hot and ready pizzas, some fried chicken and beer!
After lunch we helped John Barnett (the owner of another Santana 20) drop his mast to help him prepare for next weekend. That was an event but to protect the innocent I will not tell the story until we are out of danger of receiving the Pat White error in judgement award.
Once his mast was down and ready to travel Steph and I started working on Arrested Development. Just a few little projects.
- Added new boards to hold the hatchs in, they were just some aluminium flat bar that I rounded the corners out on and then bolted them in place. They work really well and look pretty nice compared to the falling apart old ones.
- Added a piece of PVC to the upper shroud bases, this will be easier on the genoa when it gets sheeted past it.
- The last project was to make new Winch handle holders out of a larger piece of PVC pipe. They are hung just inside the cabin at a nice angle that make the handles easy to reach and hopefully will make tacks a little faster.
So next weekend is the first regatta, Nathan will be doing midcrew since Mike will be down at Lakefest on the tri.
