Spring maintenance

To own is to maintain! Cruising dreams are seldom made of..work! But even on the home grounds, cruising and owning a boat comes with its share of maintenance work.

We had a couple of very cold days during which we decided to tackle the "dodger issue"...we bought clear glass vinyl (gage 30) at Quinte Canvas and replaced all the 3 windows. Before doing so, however, we used the opportunity of having a windowless dodger to repair seams...what a job!

We just had installed a new door in the guest room and we used the old door as a work table: great work surface! The purchase of a walking foot for the sewing machine was a great investment: it made the job so much easier. 10 hours of work...the results are great!!!  We now have a new "16 years old" dodger!!
