Getting ready to launch!

The intrepid crew of the sailing vessel Golightly have been hard at work the past few weekends trying to get the fair ship ready for the 2015 sailing season!

Kelley has really gotten into working on the Yanmar diesel engine and successfully crawled into the engine doghouse, hung upside down and got the stuffing box re-packed!


We then got all of the thru hulls labeled and tested the seacocks.  We seem to be in good shape.

Next up is uncovering the boat and prepping the engine (re-install impellars, change full filter, test ignition, etc.) and we'll be good to launch!  Gonna have to wait a couple weeks, though, as I'm helping a buddy bring his Carver 42 from Alabama up to Michigan!
