Track and Liner

 Cap'n Carey finally had time to set the track on the starboard side, we went to Vallejo and picked it up at West Marine last month. He ordered the screws a couple of weeks ago, and he finally had time to put the track on. You can't really tell but some of the bolts are 6" long. He had to screw them all in by hand, no power tools for this job. Last weekend he poured epoxy down the old holes to seal them, then drilled the new holes to match the new black track. The access holes in the headliner are pretty much spot on. If anything happens we have access to all the bolts, all the way from the aft cabin, head, and through the galley.  It was pretty hard to bend the straight track to the bow of the cap rail. It looks fabulous. I can't wait to go out and test it.
  Now that the track is on we could finally put the headliner in the galley, and finish putting the nuts and washers on the track bolts from the head, and galley. And now the head is completely done, signed sealed and delivered. We have the galley about 80% done. The stove is completely in, and the liner is in, the only thing we have to do really is put the lights up, and put the shelving back in and seal the sink. We have to put the covers on the chainplates, and get the plugs wired in. But other than that I believe we are just about done with the galley.
  There is still alot of work to do in order to leave for Mexico. But the Cap'n and I are chugging along on the 'never ending' list. Every time you get one thing done, you end up adding about 4 more things. The good part is that now that the head and galley is almost done, we can head up top to get all the rigging rigged, and get our girl out sailing.
