Boat Prep

BOAT: an acronym, meaning "Bring Out Another Thousand".

Asterix is a 35 year old boat, and it shows in some places.  She has also spent her entire life so far in Puget Sound, mostly daysailing and short cruises.  So there was some work to be done to get her ready for the trip.

Upholstery

Asterix still had her original upholstery:

That got replaced.

Ditto for the boat canvas.

She also gained a dodger in the process.

And hauling for strut work, bottom paint, new through hulls, engine rehab, etc.

Oh, and installation of a throne...

What more could anyone want?
