Another weekend, another 12 hours of boat improvement. This time we focused on the elecrical systems and detailing the interior of the cabin. Both are incomplete but significant steps have been made in the correct direction. The whites are whiter and the teak is way teakier. I think the running lights are worked out, the anchor light presents a problem because we always leave before sunset and so it's hard to see if the damn thing (at the top of the mast) is lit. The first pictures are of the million dollar view from our mooring. San Francisco and Alcatraz at dusk to the south, and a Mount Tamalpais sunset to the north. Also, the rat's nest of wires and switches we inherited. Interesting. Oh and of course, Thingy The Dinghy, our all-purpose pier to boat transport. The seagulls in the backgroud were freaking out because of all the noise the foot pump makes. It actually sounds like a seagull. How lucky.

I am thinking that if we tried really hard and gave it 115.75% of our undevided attention, we could provide the TVM with a glass bottom that doubles as a shuffle board. Your thoughts?
