Boat Refitting
When we first bought “Slip Away,” we knew we had some work to do to get her
ready for our voyage. We thought we had a pretty good idea of what needed
to be done, but as we got into it, our "To-Do" list grew and grew. Some
work was absolutely necessary from a safety standpoint (e.g. rewiring).
Other projects got added as things broke (e.g. refrigeration). And still
others were just things we wanted to do or were ideas we got from other boat
owners (e.g. stripping and refinishing the interior wood).
Of course, we haven't finished everything on our "to-do" list and can't imagine that we ever will. But, perhaps that's why "cruising" is often defined as "working on your boat in exotic places."
