In the slip

May 02, 2019 by Lukasz Kumanowski

I checked on her this morning, before going to work.
She was fine - still taking water, slowly but otherwise OK.

Came back late in the evening to install 15A fuse on my bilge pump work-around installation.

It’s shitty weather - snowing and raining. Heavy wind and cold: 2 C.

I’ve installed additional mooring lines and springs - even though she is small in the water she was dancing with the wind pretty heavily in the slip. With more lines she should be safe now.

I planned to mount sprayhood to protect the cabin from snow and rain but with such heavy wind it does not seem to be a good idea.

I still have some leaks through the cabin-cockpit interface. Both port and starboard sides leak rainwater on the cabin ends. Ettan on cracks apparently did not solve the problem.

Two stern portlights developed leaks. I need to tighten screws there.

Big leak is on cockpit bench connection to cockpit vertical wall - I already have mahogany parts to seal it, will install them as soon as possible.

Foredeck hatch has a leak on stern side - in connection through the deck. That can be serious, I need to see to it ASAP.

I pumped her dry, checked that automatic bilge pump is going fine and went home.
