30 days and counting

Were getting closer, only 30 days to go before we shove off.
Before we go we have to haul the boat and clean the hull, scrape the barnacles and double check the running gear. I probably should figure out what kind of props I have and order a spare set so if I do the unthinkable and hit something we can be back in service quickly since Glen will have his dive gear with him.
I have to put a new transducer in to use the new fishfinder and put a strainer over the raw water intake for the genset. It sucked in lots of eel grass last year in the san juans and we found out there was noting covering that intake port.
Other than that we should be about ready to go
Still have to build the awning once the canvas arrives from Seattle fabric but that should take a couple hours in an evening to sew it together.
Gotta keep Chris from loading too much stuff, she has a tendancy to overpack.
Hopefully the fickle weather will improve and start looking like spring. snowed the last three days here so maybe it will get the bad weather out of its system and we can look forward to a great dry and warm spring. OK, i am halucinating, but one can only hope.
