Good Vibrations

After a good nights sleep we were ready to start tackling the boat. First thing that I got around to really noticing was that the pulpit was bent when the mast was pulled. One of the standing rigging wires snagged a lifeline and torqued the front pulpit. Drag.

The guys at Shurtz Marine did a most excellent job of pulling Kalliope together in spite of the fact that Kathy and I were still basket cases from the previous job.

The Shurtz List

• Repair Gelcoat on port side
• Add new bottom paint
• Paint new name (They actually pointed us to a local guy, Vince, who did a fantastic job)
• Straighten Pulpit.

My List

• Replace Zincs
• Remove Pulpit
• Reinstall Dodger, Gallows, Solar panels, etc.
• Fix Windlass (only goes up, not down)
• Clean up the Anchors. Shurtz let me a descaler to remove some of the bigger nastier rust particles ... I really thought that one of the anchors was a goner, but it seems like it can be recovered. Note to self: don't forget ear protection when using one of these guys. I felt like I just got back from a U2 concert.
  
  
  
  

Kathy's List

• Paint V Bearth with anti-mildew paint
