April/May - Preperation

We have been feverishly working on the boat to get her ready to sail. Johesa was launched April 29th. This is the earliest she has been in the water. Once at the dock we got pummeled all night with high winds and rain out of the NE, good for generating wind power. All systems seem to be working well. We also installed some new stuff, new battery bank (450AH capacity), high output alternator with smart regulator, freezer (must have ice), bimini and dodger, book shelves and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember at the moment. There is still much to do before departure, we are starting to feel the pressure.
Besides all the boat stuff we are trying to wrap up all our lives in Eagan. The lists just keep getting longer but we are holding up reasonably well.
