New Flying Pig Pix Links

I know that this will likely result in the usual one or two unsubscriptions
from The Flying Pig Log due to too much traffic :{)) But I promise to be
regaling you with tales of our travels pretty soon.

However, in response to many requests, based on "it didn't happen, if there
aren't pictures to prove it," I offer links to the URLs of the most recent
(in the last month or so) of the stuff we've been up to aboard (well, on the
hard in Riverside Marina in Ft. Pierce FL, if that counts, even though we've
lived aboard for all but the last bits).

I'll warn you that unless you're "really" into boat work, you can probably
skip these, but for those who have the interest, either professional or
morbid, they may be enjoyable.

As above, I promise to be back in the water soon, but we still have a few
things to accomplish which aren't on these galleries. Also, in light of the
realities, I've renamed the home gallery for these to the 2011-2012 refit!

We have done an inordinate amount of work on our rudder. The first set is
of structural improvements we did to the skeg; further back (click the "prev
28" at the bottom left of the screen if you want to see those), you can see
others which include strengthening the rudder itself, and how we resolved
the pits in the shaft, but those have been up for a while. The second set
is of our trial raising of the rudder to assure proper fit of the new bolts
we bought for the gudgeon which holds it up, and the third is of the
successful reinstallation of the rudder into the shaft log and gudgeon -
with reinstallation of the steering and packing gland to follow when we get
to them.

The next couple are of the continuing saga of our anchor system upgrade. We
substantially stoutened our windlass base, including repairing some deck
damage, and addressing some interior water damage in the first link, and
installed a monster chain stopper to go with the much heavier new anchor we
bought earlier, in the second. The same applies about looking at earlier
stuff, but in this case you'd click the "Anchor System Refit" at the top of
the page for other galleries as well.

My last missive had to do with the immense satisfaction we had with all the
work we put into the bottom as we laid on the first of our layers of barrier
coat. It's what keeps the water away from the raw fiberglass, preventing
future blisters. Since we need not less than 12 mils to assure that, we've
put on more than that already, and have one more coat to go.

http://justpickone.org/skip/gallery/...s+Barrier+Coat

There will be a few more pictures to come on the next one, but we also did a
lot of work on our drive train. These are of the installation of the
checked and shortened shaft and the return to a standard-type packing gland
(which keeps the water out of the boat while still allowing the shaft to
turn).

http://justpickone.org/skip/gallery/...+Packing+Gland

Like so much of this refit, nothing's been simple, it seems. We wound up
virtually rebuilding the cockpit table we had built for us. There will be
final pictures added to this gallery when we get a chance to take them, but
the end result, other than the hinges which aren't shown in the leaves,
here, is pretty much a done deal. Here, too, there's LOTS of pictures
before where this starts, which is just the current work

http://justpickone.org/skip/gallery/...Table&start=49

Our staysail is supported below decks by a bobstay. Otherwise, the tension
on the stay would be take entirely by the deck. The previous one's
attachment to the inner deck/stem of the boat had broken under the load.
This is the new end and installation of the turnbuckle and fork for that
bobstay.

http://justpickone.org/skip/gallery/...ay+Replacement

Last, but not least, in the past, before we owned the boat, the anchor
locker's (where the wet chain goes when it comes in) drain had clogged. We
freed it, but not before the prior owner's many years of standing water had
damaged the bulkhead, and the facing inside the Vee berth. Lydia removed
all the prior veneer, leveled the underlying plywood, and we installed new
laminate in the same color as the rest of the white trim in the boat.

http://justpickone.org/skip/gallery/...ead+Of+Repaint

A fairly busy 4 weeks we've had, and we're thankful that Isaac's going to
give us a miss, making it so I only had to do some securing rather than
stripping the entire boat in order to survive the wind and rain which is
coming. As it's starting to pick up as I type, I'll get this up on the net,
and go to the home in Vero Beach we're visiting while we do the last bits
without refrigeration.

Stay tuned!

What size is your new Rocna anchor?



Looks good.

73 pounds - 22Kg.

Look through the other anchor section pix and you'll see it clearly...

There's a math error in there someplace.

1 Kg = 2.2 lbs.

Maybe 33 Kg ?

That should hold you OK in winds up to 50 or 60 kts assuming well set
in a good bottom, lots of chain, and reasonable protection from waves.
One of the nice things about the Spade and Rocna anchors is that they
rarely trip out on wind and current shifts. In 25,000 nautical miles
of cruising our Spade has only dragged once (poorly set in a grassy
bottom). It did come up chain fouled once after some major wind
shifts but it never dragged.

Hi Folks,

it must be useful to study also the customizing of the coat wisely without
the light with brand-new innovations and the connection with the coat
extension after discussing about the gallery and the coat facilities
management;
But it might be appropriate to evaluate the treatment of the coat simultaneously;
But Thanks to the gallery as well as the coat management, it might be appropriate
to take into account the pretreatment of the coat rapidly as well as the
light with brand-new innovations or the coat processing ;
Otherwise you should understand what follows:
Note that these measurements should be
similar.
You need to record the subtle variations of the features which
make that individual's face unique.
Therefore it is important to draw
lightly at first, as lightly drawn lines are easier to erase.
They are also
a good reference if you feel that you are making major errors in your
portraits.
You begin a portrait with the eyes as they are the main focal
point.
The main features are then framed by the outline of the face and
hair, while the neck and shoulders form an angular support for the head.

This is a strong compositional starting point for a three quarter view
portrait.
There are three basic stages in the creation of the image:

how did you cope with the gallery processing or its association with the coat administration?
