Repairs to Barefoot Babe

I have not updated this in a while so I will let you know what has been happening.

We have been updating Barefoot Babe and doing some repairs that have been needed.
1. Replaced both A/C heating units with 16500 BTU reverse cycle units. This will make the boat nice and cool in the summer and toasty in the winter.
2. Custom build a new grill mount on the stern and installed a new Magma Grill.
3. Repaired a few water leaks in the lid seam and screws on the top of the large fresh water tank.
4. Replaced saloon teak and holly flooring on the starboard side.
5. Varnish new floor with 10 coats of varnish and one coat of varnish on existing flooring.
6. We placed the boat name on both the port and starboard bow of  Barefoot Babe.

Pending items in progress:
1. New hydraulic dinghy lift to be installed on stern,
2. New main sail cover.
3. New dodger and bimini with enclosure.
On these items I have to depend on other people in the marine industry and they seem to move at a snails pace. So what do you do...

I will update this posting with some pictures after I take some.
