Boat is Ready for Occupancy

After a long day (10 hours) Pachuca is ready for occupancy.


Here are some photos of the V berth ready for sleeping. 













And here are some photos of the head, where I varnished the woodwork and painted the compartments.  Unfortunately I had not dusted the place before I took the photos.































Now photos of the navigation station, settee area, and galley. Included is a photo of the refrigerator compartment, painted and ready for the installation of the new unit.  The ice box to its left got the same treatment.

Note that the companion way landing (i.e. the top of the engine cover) has been sanded but not varnished because I needed passage for the other work.  Once things settle down I'll varnish it over a period of 3 days and use the forward hatch for entry and exit.

The last photo shows the clean white bulkhead at the back, instead of the moldy fabric of before.
