A high surf warning and the biggest swell of the season rolled into Monterey Bay this weekend. Fika rode it out on her mooring without issue, and we spent the week before sealing hatches and fitting a new mizzen mast boot ahead of the rain.
Fika's new freshwater tank is lined, plumbed in, and nearly ready. A cheap webcam turned out to be the most useful tool for the coating job.
Fika now has a Dickinson Newport solid fuel stove that can burn anything from driftwood to coal. Cutting a hole in the deck for the chimney taught us something about how she was built.
The aft head is getting a full remodel. First step was stripping and repainting the sole.
