And While I’m at it….
A zillion other projects at once that all finally came together in the end…
Winches needed greasing…
I made an extension for the mid-cabin berth and used an old cushion for a back rest, so while Swell is at anchor she's got a SOFA, yeah!!
After repainting the v-drive and reinstalling the transmission, I painted the rust on the engine, too…
New porthole shades which replaced piece of paper that I have used to block the sun for about 2 years now. My artistically-inclined friend, Tina, is to thank. I LOVE them…the other side is red, purple and orange!
Swell's new aft shade arch was assembled from scraps and traded items…notice the customs hearts on the side and my thriving lemongrass and basil plants (I've been having strange longings to have my hands in dirt lately?!)
