Survey went well!

 The only things that Don found we need to attend to:

1. Reconnect the larger (higher up) bilge pump and attach alarm (Doing next week?)

2. Install an RV smoke detector (done)

3. Update our fire extinguisher(s). We keep one in the cockpit and one in the galley (done)

4. Install a Galvanic Isolator (which has been ordered).  He said the fast diminishing zincs could be because of where we keep her (Captain Billy's).  But we could also be causing it ourselves.  This device tells us if it's us or them.

He found one small area on the bottom where you can hear (when he uses his hammer) the fiberglas is not as thick as it could be.  Yes, she is a wooden boat, but her bottom was glassed over at one point.  He said not to worry about it, just keep an eye on it.

All else if fine.

Will post the full report when we get it.

She is looking sooo good!

We got a message from Boat US that they wanted an "out of water" survey of Volta to renew her insurance by Dec 4.  So Thursday, we are doing a survey, which I will publish here for anyone interested.

 Words are not enough, so here are some pics.  I painted the sole of the bow pulpit and the deck today. 

After Thursday's survey, we will be ready to cruise home.  Friday is a full day, but hoping for good weather Saturday.
