Winter Checkup II

Friday 2-January-2015

I went to check and make sure the tarp is ok.

It’s been 4 weeks since I last checked on things.  Weather forecast is calling for rain/sleet/snow tomorrow.

While there I removed the cockpit coamings to refinish or perhaps make new ones.

Also, remove the hand rails from the starboard side. On my last visit I removed the port side ones.

I also removed the manual bilge pump. It is an old “Whale Gusher 10” that doesn’t work, so I’ll see if it is salvageable. It looks to be very corroded.

For a Christmas present I asked for and got a wifi action camera. It is a SJCAM SJ4000 (GoPro knock off). I used it for this video. The video looks pretty good, but I had it in its waterproof case so my narration while taking the video is non existent. I had to re-narrated the video when I edited it.
