Episode 13 - Final Touches

That's a hilarious title, because nothing is "final" on a boat. The work never stops, whether it's cleaning, basic maintenance, emergency repairs, and so on, and so on.... But we are getting to a point where the chaos is less, the many projects are fewer, and we feel the boat is ready enough so that we can relax on board without jumping up to do another thing. And Chloe was on board. And nervous. She knew the boat, but after almost a year (which is almost 7 dog years!) she was very unsure. After several hours, she was starting to settle down a bit. So - cleaned like crazy! Fixed exposed wiring in the engine room. Replaced toilet seals. Installed the VHF radio finally. And likely several other things I forgot to film. But our hard work is paying off. There are still some issues with the engines due to feeding both from the port fuel tank - the carbs were completely empty despite my best efforts - so it's over to the mechanic to resolve. As long as we get into our slip, we can settle in more. And have more accessible power and water.
