Last Report before we sail

Don't touch that button, this was pumping out our black water very exciting.
We have been flat out for the last week in preparation for our departure, there seems to be alot of beer bottles left on the deck each morning I am guessing by the sea gods to wish us well.
Dave got his hands a little dirty doing the plumbing, you just can't stop him Matt and Jonathon kept themselves very busy, we got one sunny day so we all go sunburnt

Can anyone tell me how to turn the boat on?




This is our new battery bank which made the boat list to port but all good now.




Nice.......the view is from the boat looking toward San Fran, the Golden Gate Bridge is covered in fog as usual.



Main up it was great we went for sail on the bay yesterday and all went well, a little tweeking to do this morning.











We are all very excited but totally exhausted from all the work we hit Costco yesterday to get provisions and all is looking good for the weekend departure.
Will update in Hawaii.

Tuesday 30th

The tide has changed today it was all hands on deck, here is the evidence.





We all got roped in, Eddy found another cupboard.

The day was just lovely, Dave and I went to Walmart and Dave bought a sewing machine to sew a new bimini....will keep you posted on that.
Matt was a little overwhelmed with all the snoring in his room last night and was a little grumpy this morning.
We also had Michael the electrican still sorting out our electrical problems, its slow going but at least we are making progress
