Rick’s electrical upgrades continued throughout this time. By early September, he had completed his installation of a new, more powerful battery charger, and all the rerouting of cables and equipment that accompanied it:

His next project is to upgrade the alternator, which, after months of research and analysis, is now on order.
We also had some minor hull and fiberglass work done in September, including strengthening a portion of the hull above the waterline that we noticed had an exterior scratch on it, filling the holes on the transom left from removing the swim ladder to install the Monitor Windvane, and filling some holes in the lazarettes creates by installing new latches.
