At the end of 2011, we sailed Fujin back to Bristol RI so that Kyle Medina could do some more work on her (plus it's just an awesome place to sail anyway).
We did the paper suits, sore backs and expensive paint thing.

A few small repairs
Down the drain... Kyle replaced a bad thru-hull opening for the galley sink drain with a nice new one. The one in there would not open fully. Since it's a hole in the boat way below the water line, I feel better about making it very reliable.

The seals on a few of our Lewmar Portlights have developed some leaks. There is a bit of damage to the woodwork already from these leaks so I ordered some replacement seals. After reading a bunch of articles online saying how miserable of a job this is, I can definitely say that everything you read on the internet is true.

And the main task for Kyle in Bristol is to install the new Raymarine Radar. That's Fujin's mast in the foreground with the new platform for the antenna installed. Notice the light with the disconnected wires sitting on the mast. That light was above where the platform is so Kyle is re-installing it below the platform.

Inside Job
Linda decided to splurge on her lovely ship and have Bristol Marine re-do the nonskid surface on all the decks. Bristol brought the boat inside for this part. Here are some pictures taken on the weekend before this work started. This delays our launch date by a few days but due to other obligations, it won't really affect when we can start sailing. The good news is that it's a few less days that the boat will sit on a mooring in Bristol Harbor with the meter running.
