This afternoon I finished with the windlass project, its wiring and reworked windlass/anchor platform. The anchor rollers and anchors (one Danforth and one SuperMax) are now in place, as well as a Lewmar chain stopper (at the top of the small platform just forward of the windlass). The top of the platform is also covered with 1/2″ starboard for protection from dings and scratches.

The engine’s injectors have also been removed, rebuilt and replaced over the past several weeks.

Judy has a few days off later in the week, so we’re going to take Sanderling out and practice anchoring with the new windlass, test some of the systems, and generally see what needs to be accomplished before we leave for the Chesapeake at the end of the month.
