Got the bimini top installed...at least the top part...windows later.
Have a few screws to replace with bolts and backing plates at the main brackets.
I'll get the backing plates made up and install next trip.
Have to do some work on the boom and rigging to fit with the top.

Looks good...Thanks to my brother Andy at Delphos Tent & Awning.

4/18/2013

Well, I finally get back to the sailboat.
I was here for a short trip the end of Feb just to check up on things and pay the bills.
Got the front rail mount fixed today.
Fired up the engine and idled it for a while. Seems fine.
Tested the new/used Navionics chip from the Sea Tow guy. I owe him now. How much $$$
It covers all of FL and the Gulf up to New Orleans peninsula. I plan to use it "WELL!!"
Getting ready to install the new Bimini Top built in OH at Delphos Tent and Awning.
Getting the bottom scraped this weekend sometime.
Pat and Jeff plan to stop by on Sat.
Maybe take them out for a sail???
Weather looks to be windy on Fri & Sat...25 knots of north wind.....wind is supposed to be good for sailing!!!

More to follow....
