Oriental, NC

 Another very busy day...

 Both boats are a disaster inside.  Slowly moving everything over to Oasis.  There is an amazing amount of "stuff" on boat boats...


 

Since I'm going to make a new main sail bag for Oasis, I took the opportunity to measure Sojourn's sail bag before we re-install it.  The rigs are identical so the measurements should make it easy to recreate the bag without all the fitting/measuring I did before.

There were a few chafing issues I needed to address before reinstallation.

Just made a nice thick patch.  Should last a while.


I know it doesn't seem like much progress....hard working in the hot sun!  Boom hoisted and back in place. 


Got the main sail ready - flaked and battens reinstalled.


Once the winds calmed just at sunset, we used the halyard to hoist the main back onto the mast and got all of the running rigging reinstalled.

  1. Hard work, esp in the hot sun. And it’s amazing how much stuff comes out all the lockers. When we bought Meshugga (Lagoon 62) it took me 2 weeks to sort and transfer all our stuff from our old Meshugga (Voyager 47). So go easy on yourself.

  2. Great time to sort and clean out extra stuff. Amazing how it can accumulate over the years
