On probably the hottest trip yet on August 4, Steve, Cindy, and I made numerous repairs to the Capn Pappy & the Kids. The best thing that happened was as you can see the name being placed on the stern. The next best was the beautiful curtains that Cindy sewed for the cabin. As you can see from the next photo, they look great. She is working on the cushions and they should be in soon. Since the cabin was sweltering, Cindy gets a big pat on the back for sticking it out and getting them all installed.

Steve and I did several jobs on the outside - replacing 2 port covers, finding a "improv" solution to a hole in the transom where someone had previously drilled out a 1 inch hole, checking the head and galley vent fans (neither of which works), and replacing the reading lights in the v-berth.

We are getting close to going in the water!
