Today was a really cool day.... but not so bad that we were able to get a fair bit done. Ed got the midship bunks put back together and re-installed a bunch of doors.
I have installed a new thermostat on the fridge and it seems to be great...
Today I also got the dive shop painted... The compressor and generator are now installed and working great. Yesterday I got a guy at the Mufflerman to make me a custom exhaust for the generator.... what a great job! and are you ready fior the price.... $75.00 ... there are good people left in the world....
Also today I bit the bullet and ordered the new radar/chartplotter unit for the boat. We are now the owners of an 18" HD Raydome and a c95 chartplotter from Raymarine. Defender Industries in Connecticut is having their huge anual warehouse sale and we saved over $1000 over their regular price... This unit is set up with blue tooth so I can use my iPad as a second screen at the lower nav station... this unit is SO cool. check it out:

259101 Raymarine C95 Multifunction Navigation Display
After 9 years of planning, and 4 years of preparation, we are finally on the adventure of a lifetime... On July 1st 2014 we left Ontario Canada setting out on an adventure that might just take us around the world.... This blog is a chronical of not only our trip but the work that went into getting us and our Dufour 12000ct Ketch rigged sailboat ready.... Enjoy... We are happy to share our adventures...
