Driving the Volvo

I have been driving the Volvo lately. It get a bit better fuel economy than the Silverado. Kokini in the foreground. 

Kokini is pretty comfortable moving about the deck and can climb up onto the boat on her own. 

Port Side Aft Bulkhead

Here is the forward side tabbed in, except for the inboard end. I want to plug the hole where I removed a shore telephone and cable connection. Multiple layers are the lighter spots. 

I added some tabbing to bond the shelf after tabbing the seam between the bulkhead panels. I still need to tab in the bottom and may wait until the bunks are in for that. 



This is the aft side cleared together for aligned purposes. Barely noticeable it the hole for the shore cable and telephone connector that needs to be plugged. 

Better view of where the bulkhead meets the shore power connection panel. All AC wiring is on the forward side. I'll move the cable and telephone connector aft, or perhaps I'll simply leave that off.

Loading the Fuel Tank

PI loaded the fuel tank in deck and got it into the V berth but can't seem to make the corner. I will have to remove some trim to make the turn. After that it should be no problem getting it aft and installed. 


I also removed the large air conditioner today to make it easier to move about the boat.
