Which Way is South?

When I first bought Annie, her compass had cracked and all the oil/water (whatever they put in those things), had drained out... it was pretty much useless.

Finding and installing a new compass has been on the Punch List for a long time (item # 101). Well, I finally found a good deal on Amazon, ordered it, and installed it today. Now I know which way is South! That's a good thing since that is the way I'm eventually heading, (slight grin as I amuse myself with my wit and charm).

I also tackled another job that's been laying there for the longest time, item #102 - sanding my belaying pins & rack. I have one belaying pin that broke off a long time ago, so I'll have to replace it.

I started sealing the scupper drain that runs through the boat and drains out the side of the boat about a foot above the waterline. Both sides have been a pain in my posterior ever since I bought Annie... leaking. So, I'm sealing the drain with epoxy and raising the catch basin slightly so no water stagnates in it. (BTW, those drains are also clogged more often than not). I'll post pictures of that project when it's complete.

So, short week for me but I'm getting some chores done.

Fair seas and God bless!
