‘Never Too Late’ Is In The Water: Countdown 6 Days!

Entry #31: To view my blog’s first entry scroll down to ‘Entry # 1’. Sorry for the inconvenience, I will eventually figure out how to reverse entry order.

Wow! Look at the water level!

Everything went well this morning. Never Too Late was launched successfully. Yanmar diesel started without hesitation from a long winter. Automatic bilge pump worked flawlessly. It took a few trials and errors but as you can see from the picture above, I re-installed both the dodger and bimini.

Thursday I will attempt to wire my auto-pilot and watchman electronics. (Joey, keep your fingers crossed that I can do it myself.) Time and weather permitting, I will also initiate testing the function of the new Garmin depth transducer and GPS chart plotter.

Friday I plan to load the North Sails and work the top deck including improving hatch water tightness. With any luck I may be ready for a brief trial sail over the weekend.
