Went fishing with sister Nuts over the weekend and loaded the freezer.  Grey Triggerfish - delicious.

Got deck fittings sealed and bolted down.

U bolt fixing points for safety harness and mainsheet. Put a large backing pad under the cockpit floor u- bolt.  All the others go through on the centerline on the double deck  thickness.

Still got to decide if Im going to fit the second deck hatch which will be fitted fwd of the main bulkhead on the stbd side to provide a through flow of air..  (the tropics get hot).  Also got to fit the dorado box and jib sheet block fastenings.  I will wheel Nuts out the workshop again and put the mast up to hoist the jibs and check out sheeting positions again.  At least I have all the halyards and sheets now.  Been doing whipping and splicing.  Plenty to do but not in a hurry.  

Started to think about wind vane and got a few bits to experiment with.  First prototype will be horizontal axis.
