Boom Cradle...

While waiting on a new thru-hull to arrive, I decided to tackle one of those jobs that isn't critical, but needs to be completed sooner or later. I have a number of these jobs laying around the boat, but this one has been bugging me lately. So, today, I removed, sanded, and revarnished my Boom Cradle.

Looks pretty good. I'll add pics to this post tomorrow night once it's dried and has been reinstalled.

Fair seas and God bless!

    looks good.

    I know many Nor'sea owners have them. There isn't one on my boat but I don't think I'll put one on anytime soon.

    Been playing around with a side project. A Raspberry Pi Zero running OpenCPN. Just updated a couple things on it too.

      Thanks Dan.

      Just added the pics from the re-install. Should last a couple of years... used Epifanes.

      What does a Raspberry Pi Zero do? Looks way above my paygrade. :)

      the Pi Zero is a $5 computer that people use to experiment with in different ways. It runs on Linux so people can use/make programs for whatever they come up with. The larger Pi's like the Pi 3 is about $40, but same thing. just a tiny computer.

      My son is a Senior Software Engineer for Google... Sounds right up his alley.

      Up his alley but WAY over my head... LOL!
