Ash took this pic of me hoisting the dinghy back onto the boat after taking it off of the davits right at dusk. Tomorrow the boom comes off and we may drop the mast depending on if the yard wants to do it then. The first coat of bottom paint is on and if it isn’t raining, number two will go on tomorrow. Five more days!!

Two new stainless seacocks above the waterline (no electrolysis with the bronze below the waterline) and one new bronze seacock and thru-hull. Our bilge pumps now pump out above the waterline, the way they should have been set up all along. There will be a manual pump plumbed into the bronze thru-hull and we can decide whether we want the valve open or shut as we like.

Six days until we get her on the truck!
