breaker panel

not only was the old panel outdated and old but we added so much electornics, lights and other stuff to the boat that it also became too small. so another thing became necessary on our purchase list and we got ourselves a beautiful brand new panel. but installing it was really the task... I really cannot explain how difficult this was. running all the cables was a huge undertaking to say the least. we could not have done it without Bob so Bob, thank you so very much!

the anchor locker and anchor base

the anchor locker was enlarged (double the size at least) and the base was built from a grill that my father had in the storage, not the grill in the picture although a very similar one (this one in the picture was sold to alex and garry as part of the entire furniture sale before our departure).

the locker is to be filled with 230 ft. of chain at least that is what we think now... but the length can change if we notice the bow of the boat sink too much once all the rode is in. precisely the same reason why we decided to put only the Bruce in the bow. The CQR will add too much weight up front; it will come with us, we just have not yet figured out where to put it....!!!!!!!!

dodger and bimini

the old bimini was changed with new canvas and we added a brand new dodger. We constucted the dodger from and old bimini frame of a power boat that was somehow abandoned and landed in the roof of the marina office and that Eddy senior kindly gave to us.
