Dovid Speaks – Spring Stuff

Spring is in the air and now that the pollen isn’t killing us, we’re getting ready for a summer of sailing and hard prep.  The first thing was to give the boat a good scrub up just to get the winter gunk off.  A season aboard in wet weather  makes for nasty cockpit corners.  Other than the usual routine filling of tanks, we didn’t spend a lot of time on deck or in the cockpit over winter understandably.  The next light project is simply to get Starfish – our inflatable dingy – inflated and back in the water.  I expect we’ll have that done in a couple of days once we get to storage and find the pump.
The first big project of the year will be the resealing of the toe rails, where we have some minor leaks that are annoying and not at all what we want.  I expect it will take a couple days to get each rail off, cleaned and prepped, then sealed and back in place.  We’re using 5200 on it for the simple reason that we want it to stay done.  That is the biggest of the items on the current list – followed by a water tank fill from the deck.  I think Miouo really wants to see that one happen. We also need to replace a less than stellar pump in the head as well… it pumps, but not as efficiently as it used to – and we don’t want it to go out completely on us!
Other than that – we’re getting ready for sailing season.  Time to check the sails and spend some time with the wind.
