Well today was spent cutting out the last of the stainless steel parts for the radar post. As the sun went down and my light with it I thought I was done only to find, as I was setting everything aside to take to the welder tomorrow, that I still had a bend to make in the base plate so he can weld the base cap to it. I'll take care of that first thing tomorrow morning.
   Yesterday as I was leaving Avelinda after painting the dinghy chocks, which I just installed, I decided to go ahead and set the dinghy in them as the paint was dry. As I positioned the rear of the dinghy over it's chocks I was baffled as to why it didn't settle into them correctly until I realized it was because I had installed them 180 degrees out...Arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Time for a good stiff drink!!!!!! Ok two steps forward one step back. While the welder is welding up the post I'll cut off the rear chocks and re-glue them back in place, shouldn't take more then a hour or so. There is nothing, simply nothing as much fun as just messing about in boats! I think I'll have another drink...life's so much more rosy!
   Below is a picture of all the parts (except for the base plate and the 8 ft post) ready to go to the welder Click to enlarge.
