so here i am writing my first post from inside shanti's main salon (ha ha!), even though she is still on the hard ie sitting in the parking lot of skagit valley college's marine tech department (see top pic). i'm going through her electrical system and removing the Detritus of 20 years of shoddy wiring. i just went to the seattle boat show and made some connections for cheap sailcloth so that i can repair her sails and make her look like the photo on the right again. i can't wait to get her in the water and move on board.
