Ashantee | Monday, May 4, 2015 I had a brief list of small projects remaining before I could call my work basically complete. We still awaited the new cushions and canvas, which hopefully would be done soon. Now that the final bits of brightwork were complete, I spent a little time reinstalling the cockpit table and drink holder, and checked the swashboards for fit and final appearance. |
I loaded back all the gear and equipment that I'd originally removed from the cabin and cockpit lockers at the beginning of the project, and made a final pass through the cabin to clean up as needed. |

On deck, I did a final cleanup as well. |

Since I planned to leave the boat indoors till its transport truck arrived, I installed the two bilge drain plugs, using a bit of sealant to ensure the threads held securely. |

As a final preparation, I ran some water into the water tank and flushed out the system to remove remnants of antifreeze from winterizing. Once I'd flushed the system as clean as possible, I filled the water tank to be ready for the season. Here's one minute or so of your life you'll never get back: |
