Hoisting the sails

A wonderful day on the "Ecliptic" trying to fix as much as I could. Pulled out all the cushions to dry in the sun ... there was a lot of water in the boat when it was first looked at. The dockside AC wiring proved to be a challenge in the galley ... 3 wires colored black, red and blue ... not quite the standard black, white and green. The GFI breaker was intermittent as a result of all the wires being very loose. Took me a couple of tries to get the right wires in the right place, but now we have real AC in the galley. After that I tried to plug the crack in hull with limited success. It seems to have slowed a bit, but still leaks. Need to try the underwater bonding capabilities next to avoid the problems with the water still coming in while it is setting. Pulled out the jib and it looks wonderful ... the mainsail has a few problems since it would only go part way up ... need to get some silicone lubricant to see if I can free it up. All in all it was a beautiful day on the boat.
