Formosa41 - Formosa 41

Diesel tank sprung a leak. I had planned on replacing it anyway, but what a mess!

The weather is not cooperating for outside the boat work. Condensation on the tarp means it's basically raining INSIDE the tent. Moving work to the inside of the boat for now...which is needed desperately! I've been neglecting the inside too long. Time for some clean-up before deciding what project to work on. Wiring? Fuel lines and mounting new tank? So much to do...

Cut out the holes for the portlights on the galley side. Can't wait to finish the port side so I can cut that side. Down below already feels so open with just the one side done. One more step forward...so many more to go!

Our "secret" spot on the river. A nice private little spot with natural barriers to keep the doggies from wandering off, or others wandering in.

Front boards are cut and test fit. I had to reinstall the dinghy davits to calculate the holes I needed to drill through the back piece. I then cut the two ugliest holes I have ever done...they weren't photo worthy. Next up, pull it all apart, fiberglass the propane locker box, reinstall everything, fiberglass everything else.

Paradise, the day she became mine.
