Welded

It's been a mighty long time since we've had any changes to report on our boat, but here we are finally working on her again. John was laid off from his job, we sold our other boat, and rather than stick around here looking for a reason to stay, we've decided to concentrate on the Ebbtide and get sailing again. With two very small girls.

On the list for projects to complete before splashing: relocating several thru-hulls that are now below the waterline. We would like to keep our systems as simple as possible and avoid using check valves. Easy solution? Move everything that doesn't absolutely need to be below the waterline, up a foot or two. Cockpit drains, bilge and sink discharge, etc. So we've been cutting and plugging and welding away. Pictures on our Flickr link!
