Here is a pic of our boat six years ago today back in Harrison Maine. A far cry different from here on Lon Gisland NY <grin> !

Nick was a huge help preparing for the new radar… old one has got to go! Nick took the old radar apart… very cool insides.

Nick is checking out the insides of the old radar!

Here is a close up for all you antenna experts!

In the water right on schedule!

After work I drove over to the boat. It looks like it is ready to launch!!! On schedule March 27 – tomorrow – Saturday.

Weather is supposed to be great. It will mostly be a work day + test day + projects. But everything is easier once it is “in” (after all the other stuff below the waterline is done.)

If you know what this contraption is (below) near our prop, leave a comment for chance to win a million dollar lottery ticket!

These are pics of the bow thruster. A sideways tunnel with props that push the bow left and right. Great for docking. Notice the new “zincs” (sacrificial anodes) that are designed to corrode so the other metallic components don’t!

Spring launch prep has begun!

Won’t be long now!

Splash!
