1928 Classic Yacht
Ananda Charlie came into the marina aboard Ananda. It is such a treat to see another classic deep in the inlet let alone in this marina. Euphemia II Took the boat out for a few hours. This was an opportunity to see the change from getting the propeller and rudder cleaned up. I was able…
Bottom A friend dove the boat to ensure that the propeller and rudder were clear of fouling for the trip to Sidney. The rest of the bottom was not an issue as the boat is to come out there. I also purchased the paint to do the bottom – not cheap. Lucky to find the…
Flags Made ready the show flags. They are now in the fire water-bucket. Refrigerator I am pretty sure about why the frig fuse has blown twice. I think it is because of overheating behind the unit. An ideal system has a fan to blow in (mounted low) and a fan to blow out (mounted high)….
I have been doing some sewing. I started with a cover for the windlass. The windlass needs a cover as it looks rusted and I am sure that a bit of paint will be far too temporary. It really needs to be overhauled but that is not happening for awhile. I found that the BBQ…
Leaving Euphemia this evening with the likelihood of not seeing it for the next month. A friend will be the emergency contact while I am away, with the family, in Europe.
Mid Ship Head I am always more aware of how the boat looks when it is in the day light. I noticed some stuff I had not completed in the Mid Ship Head. So I gave it another coat of paint (could use a 3rd) and covered a section of wiring. Easy stuff but still…
Back out at the Farm – this time I am staying for the night. May as well post an update – thanks to Telus (and a hotspot)! Start Battery The Automatic Charge Relay (ACR) switch has gone to a blinking state a few times while out using the boat. This indicated an under voltage. At…
Wheel House Trim Installed the oak (ok actually teak) cove trim in the wheel house. Transom I decided to combine; a spot of nice weather at the end of the day, the need to get a couple of chairs to the Farm, and the need to put the boat in the boathouse stern first (so…
Fore Deck Refreshed the varnish on the fore deck. Wheel House Roof Sealed the seam on the trim around the wheel house roof. Sika Flex 291. Another coat of varnish on this trim and I am done with that roof – just regular maintenance. Transom I was going to apply the same sika flex over…
Maggie and I went for a night out on Euphemia II. The destination was either Storm Bay or Kunechin Point. We chose Kunechin Point as it was a bit closer – close enough that we would expect visitors for dinner. I was testing out several things on the boat. The stern ‘thruster’ worked very well….
