    Back in the water

    I put the Princess back in the water the other day, the poor old girl is nowhere near complete but working on her outside in a dirt parking lot wasn't doing her new paint any good.
    Still to do list;
    Finish installing the head.
    Finish wiring; stern light, interior lights and neaten up the bundles.
    Fabricate and install door for the head. None of the other interior work will likely get touched this summer.
    Install winch towers.
    Install Genoa tracks (I almost installed them yesterday but decided they were not shiny enough and sent them out to be chromed)
    Install midship horn cleats.
    Run halyards and running rigging.
    Pic #1 New under deck furling line
    Pic #2 1:2 furling. each foot of furling line will bring in two feet of sail
    Pic #3 Furling control exit. My wife has staked a claim to the cockpit forward of the winch towers (which she had me mount farther aft) and deemed it to be a "gizmo free zone". All sail controls are being lead aft of the winches so she will not be bothered when I am tacking, jibing or other such nonsense.
    Pic #4 Traveler and main control.
