OK, here we go with our todo list for the Thunderbird for the spring of 2014.
We didn't think we had that much to do this year, but on closer inspection, this winter was pretty hard on the old girl. The Hull definitely needs the usual work.
Of course Dan has to undo everything he did to winterize the engine and the plumbing systems on board. Batteries to be charged etc. Then, I have to return everything that would have frozen, that I removed from the boat in the fall. I'm bound to forget something.

The hull needs to be scrapped and painted. Thankfully our son Ken is doing that. This of course has to be completed before the boat goes in the water.
Then there are some repairs needed to the bow pulpit, from our disastrous trip back from Gull Harbour last August.
There is also some damage to the rub rail on the starboard walk around.
These two repairs could wait until we are at the beach, but we will just see how the time goes.
Hopefully we will be underway north, to Boundary Creek Marina in no time at all.

I WANT TO GET GOING, I HAVE TO BE THERE BY CANADA DAY.
