After a busy spring, and sailboat chores supplanted by Day Sailer chores (yes, we’ve increased our fleet to three boats, not including dinghies!), we had a lot of work to do before going off shore, before spending any quality time on the sailboat.
When school got out, I spent the first several days catching up on house chores while Peter got started on some of his projects. Peter’s list: rebuild v-berth, uninstall old holding tank, install new one, install AIS system, install refrigeration, the list keeps growing. My list: clean the sailboat inside and out, provision and get all the little “necessities” that make a trip feel like vacation.
I write this as we motor-sail to Block Island with Peter still finishing his list!
We decided not to rush the refrigeration as it’s an involved job so that was off the list early in the week. That meant provisioning would have to be either items that do not require refrigeration or another solution.
