July, 2008

I spent the whole month in the boatyard working on Bella Vita. Items done include new bottom paint, painting the deck with new nonskid, replacing the top rudder bearing, replacing the cutlass bearing, replacing most of the zincs, rebuilding part of the windvane steering device, going back to the 200 foot anchor chain for the trip to Maine and resting in between. It was a lot of hard work but she looks and works better for it.
