More Boat updates.....

Since being struck by lightning just about two months ago, the repairs on the boat are coming along nicely. The guys have done such a great job of working quickly and coordinating all of the repairs. The DONE list is a lot longer than the IN PROGRESS list. We are hopeful that we will be able to make a trip to St. Pete in the boat soon.


DONE - The windex and lightning deflector have been added to the top of the mast
DONE - The freezer is now fixed (so both fridge and freezer are operational)
DONE - The DVD player and stereo have been replaced
DONE - Masthead foredeck lights are working
DONE - The bow thruster has been fixed
DONE - The air conditioning in the aft cabin is working (yeah!)
DONE - Water maker is all fixed
DONE - LED lights on the bilge pump and windlass are working
DONE - LED lights on the main control panel
DONE - VHF
DONE - Radar
DONE - AIS system
DONE - Tacometer / engine instruments

Really the only things we are waiting on are the single side band radio (which we won't need until we go to the Bahamas anyway) and the final connections for the instruments (GPS, depth finder, wind gauge, etc.) They now think that both units were affected so they are going to send the unit that is topside out to be repaired next week. Hard to imagine all that has been fixed in only 2 months!
