Lower forward hatch covers

Finally installed the two round lower forward hatch covers.

That's not an anchor

Here is what we found in the anchor locker when we picked up the boat to bring back home!

Five Years!

Wow! Almost five years has past. Ill try to keep this short. My wife and I ended up moving way up to Northern BC where she could get a full time teaching job. The boat ended up with us but no work got done. We spent three years up north and a year ago moved back to Squamish. But had to leave the boat up north. So around a month ago we drove back north and visited some friends, picked up the boat, and now its parked out on the road in front of our place. I have managed to get a few things done over the last couple of weeks. It's good to be working on her again. Currently pricing out mast and boom/rigging.

update

When we returned from our honeymoon we had a couple of weeks left in August. In that couple of weeks we needed to pack our Apartment and move down the road to Vancouver. My wife is finishing up her teaching degree this year at UBC. We found a really great place in the Kitsilano area. A couple blocks from the beach and two dinghy yacht clubs near by plus it's close to UBC. We have a shared rooftop patio that overlooks English bay. Beautiful! The downside is that our Navigator is still in Squamish, now on a trailer in my other parents driveway. It's a nice driveway and she looks good there. I am missing being able to just head out the back door and put in some time working on her. She is almost done. The bowsprit just needs to be glued and bolted in place. The Center board needs to be lightly sanded to get rid of a few run offs from the last coating of epoxy, then it can be installed allowing me to finish painting the center case. Also the rubrails will get fastened and painted. The mast needs to be extended around 19 inches or so to get the boom high enough. Then the rigging and thats it. It sounds like a lot of work, but I don't think it should take that long. The biggest snag is we (my wife and I) have agreed that i need to start working again before buying the rigging and other odds and ends. The good news is I had a great interview yesterday and would actually be excited to work for this company. I will find out next week. So in reply to the many questions of when is the launch date, I'm not sure yet but will keep all ya'll posted.

p.s. it's been great to be in a neighborhood where any where you go along the waters edge you can see a marina or boats sailing by. It helps to keep the motivation going to get out there on the water.
