Yet Another SV Will Sea Work Trip
This adventure took place on 'Tuesday April 9th, 2024'
I'm back in Charleston for another couple of days of working on the boat and working on the app. There's been significant progress made on the app during the last week. That trend is continuing. For this test trip, I've once again made a significant round of changes which I expect will likely surface additional issues. Sadly, the same cannot be said for the boat. At the present rate it'll be June before it leaves Marine Propulsion ... so something is going to have to give.

I found another epic race condition that further explains some of the weird occasional errors we're seeing.
Road Trip to Work On SV Will Sea
This adventure took place on 'Monday March 11th, 2024'
Wayne reached out and suggested he had time and was interested and willing to turn wrenches on Will Sea. Michael, the contractor managing the refit, had also suggested that I come down to inspect and manage things on site, so on Monday the 11th we're going to meet South of Charleston to spend Tuesday through Thursday working on the boat. Michael is going to teach us how to service the winches. We'll also be addressing some issues on the mast and generally inspecting and finding odds and ends to work on. It'll be good to see the boat on the hard with the mast off. We should learn a lot. But I tell you what, these long car drives are hardship for me. I don't understand why, but I really hurt after a few hours in a car.
Sun Odyssey 44 Survey South Carolina Car Trip
This adventure took place on 'Monday December 4th, 2023'
I am going to evaluate the first candidate sailboat in detail on Tuesday. I've scheduled an out of the water survey. Clearly buying a boat is a fools errand, but I am drawn to this task for reasons I do not fully understand. While I suspect to find show stoppers, I have to keep an open mind and not dismiss the opportunity out of hand.
