The Office...

This is my office for the next week or so...


     
Notice I always have my lifesaver near by in case of emergencies....,the cooler with my RUM and COKE!

So far, $175.00 for the boat, $25.00 for GAS, $94.00 for the sail and shipping, $34.00 for the well cap, around $40.00 for paint and parts and $250.00 for RUM and COKE!!!.  Sis, you should have bought a new one for $999.00!!! Plus shipping and tax of course...



There is the rusty “eye bolt” that, with a short painter (line), will keep it attached to the dock.



The bucket is full of chorine and water to wash the parts…


 The repairs continue...

 



This is what I call the “cork hole”. There is one in each rail and suppose to remove the cork when storing the boat upside down so it can drain… Next are the new inside and outside stern blocks where the gudgeon attaches to it. The cleaned pintle shows on the outside block. This was after a “muriatic acid” wash that almost left me blind...hope my little sis appreciates this!


To the right of that is the painted gudgeon, the cleaned pintle and the nice “L” shaped pin that holds them together. Notice the thin nylon line on the pin that will keep it attached to the rudder in case the boat capsizes…SHIT!








I sent the SNARK OWNERS MANUAL to my sister for recreational reading.  SNARK does offer a good selection of YouTube movies on sailing small craft, a sailing manual and then of course a parts catalogue.
