Work Work Work - Jan-Feb 2016 in Whangerei

We did a lot of maintenance chores on Kelaerin while in Whangerei.   We pulled the mast at Sea Spar  with  Matt Smith .    Jim spent 6 weeks inspecting, removing pieces, replacing pieces, including all the wiring inside the mast, painting it himself and then putting it back on the boat.

There she goes and successfully at that.

Mast looking all new and back in place.  

Please don't hit the wine locker!!!

While he was doing that, I painted most of the interior of the boat again (by again, I mean this was probably the 5th or 6th time I've repainted the interior over the last 26 years).     We also replaced the cushions (badly needed); restitched the bimini and dodger (still will have to be replaced),  installed new radar and chart plotter, beefed up the wiring for our SSB radio, and many other projects.
