The Sweet Forever - Final Touches


The bell now has a lanyard run aft to the helm where a childish skipper can annoy people. The bow now has a single bulb running light and the mast now has an anchor light.
I run the engine once a week. The bilge pump now has a float switch which is hard-wired to the battery. The blower works. I painted the deck and new floorboards with a non-skid additive. I think it is time to put the boat in the water. I'm scared!!! Where an I going to go??
Fortunately, where I work, I will have the luxury of having the entire boat and trailer lowered gently into the water by the travel lift, and I'll have plenty of time to look for leaks and run the engine without a garden hose. It would be scary to dump the boat off a ramp after all these years.
