Hi everyone. I am back in la Cruz. It has been a long time since posting. I am slowly getting the boat sorted. I have the dodger, bimini and sails on. The running rigging is in place. The floors are sanded and sealed but still need varnish. Boat projects are proceeding. Salida has a new roller furling staysail that is almost done.

I just need to install the blocks on the mast. She also has a new mainsail, some new halyards and sheets.

In the off season I welded up some aluminum hinges for the main settee table so i can flip the table to acess the bilge and engine.. I also welded some mast and boom fittings for the new hydraulic boom vang.

That is the next project. I also built some stainless mounts for the life raft I bought last season. This will get installed this week. Its really great to be back on the boat.

Still lots to do but it is progressing.

Cheers Jeff
