S/V Wahoo: February 2008
http://svwahoo.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
This is taking a lot longer than i thought. Friday, February 29, 2008. But no more, for last weekend we jumped up a level or two (or ten) in terms of sucking power when we got a wet-dry shop vacuum from Home Depot. Nice. It must be a racing vacuum. :D. Bring on the glass dust, baby. I'm ready! Monday, February 25, 2008. My birthday was last week. I'll be honest, I'm not really liking this whole pushing 40 bit, but I guess it's better than the alternative. :D. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

S/V Wahoo: February 2009
http://svwahoo.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
This is taking a lot longer than i thought. Monday, February 9, 2009. Aft bulkhead is IN. finally. We finally got some weather warm enough to get the aft bulkhead in. Whew. Tough job. Glad it's almost over. Still a few little things to touch up. And here is Wahoo's fly new booty (aft bulkhead)! FYI - you could beat someone to death with that stack of cups. You rock, sir. Thanks to that new light Dan installed I was able to snap this shot of all the bikes in my garage right now. Since it's February, winte...

S/V Wahoo: almost ready to install the aft bulkhead
http://svwahoo.blogspot.com/2008/12/almost-ready-to-install-aft-bulkhead.html
This is taking a lot longer than i thought. Monday, December 29, 2008. Almost ready to install the aft bulkhead. Spent the weekend recovering from the holidays and getting ready for the next big project, which is installing a new aft bulkhead. Had intended to get it in over the weekend, but somehow ran out of time. I'm not sure how it happened? All level and ready to go this weekend! So this Saturday will be spent tabbing in the new aft bulkhead and also installing the bridge step support. Yay! I added t...

S/V Wahoo: March 2008
http://svwahoo.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
This is taking a lot longer than i thought. Monday, March 24, 2008. Cockpit drain removal or HOLES IN YOUR BOAT! So, here it is.the cockpit drain that we want to remove. Having no clues, we had to up and figure it out on our own. We figured out this much: it would take some kind of wrench on the top part, from inside the boat, and some kind of wrench or tool on the bottom part, from underneath the boat. The bottom looks like this. Old bike tool to the rescue! No worries.came out easily. Nice job, Pam (in...

S/V Wahoo: boat building
http://svwahoo.blogspot.com/2008/12/boat-building.html
This is taking a lot longer than i thought. Monday, December 1, 2008. Since we finally got the keelson in, it's on to the next structural pieces; the bridge step support and the aft bulkhead. The aft bulkhead was more of the same. The boat was neglected and water was allowed to stand in the cabin. As a result the aft bulkhead had rotted near the bottom. And then we installed the foam part and tried it out in the boat. The Heineken is self explanatory. :D. So Bravo on that. December 1, 2008 at 7:16 PM.

S/V Wahoo: July 2008
http://svwahoo.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
This is taking a lot longer than i thought. Monday, July 14, 2008. From fiberglass dust to sawdust. So this is it.the big transition from boat demolishing to boat restoration. The big project for this past weekend was to construct a keelson to replace the rotten one I removed earlier. Since the keelson is structural and is glassed into the hull from inside the boat, it pretty much has to be done first, before we can go on to the next project(s). Next up, cutting a big hole in the keelson. It took sev...

S/V Wahoo: January 2008
http://svwahoo.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
This is taking a lot longer than i thought. Monday, January 14, 2008. I bought Wahoo (not her official name.yet) back in July of '07. Since that time she has been sitting out in the elements behind the garage in the back yard. I've kept a series of blue tarps on her to protect her from well, mostly rain, as every drop that hits her top pretty much ends up in the cabin. And from the side. I think the neighbors will appreciate the new look. Doesn't she look all nice and protected? This should make a huge d...
