April 10th Update: We’re making progress! There are still lots of little things to do but many of the big projects are done or nearly done. I’ve updated the projects list below by checking some things off. The recently completed items are in blue.
I recently heard cruising described as working on your boat in exotic locations. That’s a fairly accurate description. I don’t consider Canada exotic, though I haven’t lived here for much of my adult life so perhaps it’s a little exotic–just a little. We’re looking forward to working on our boat in more exotic places.
A few months ago I wrote a post listing the various projects we planned to tackle over the winter months. Below is the updated list. As you can see, we have completed some jobs, many are still in progress and we have added some more items to the list.
