I got a question from another 40 owner asking what I did to prepare my boat for our upcoming 2 year cruise. I needed to organize my thoughts anyway, so here is a brief summary of the improvements/equipment we have added to enable our trip. Mechanical . Engaged ABT to review TRAC stabilizer health, suggested improvements in chafing areas, gave overall system a clean bill of health . Replaced failed Maxwell 2200 Windless motor . Attempted to improve manual retrieve bar for Maxwell 2200 windless, marginal improvement . Purchased $2,000 in Lugger and Northern Lights spares from Hatton in Seattle. . Purchased rebuild kits for all critical pumps . Purchased spare raw water pump for Genset . Purchased spare prop, plugs, shear pins, fuel filters for Yamaha tender motor . Added 2nd fuel tank with known good fuel supply in Tender . Replaced stainless cable on boom winch with AMSTEEL synthetic line . Replaced tender with 10.5' AB RIB (Aluminum bottom RIB, motor + RIB =200lbs) . Installed Weaver Tender Chocks on boat deck . Purchased Vacuflush rebuild kit . Measured and marked Anchor chain . Drilled primary Anchor to accept retaining pin for bow pulpit . Replaced Bosch dishwasher with NovaKool Freezer . Installed storage under master bed to hold spare parts Electronics . Upgraded Furuno Chartplotter/Radar/Sounder from Navnet 1 to Navnet 2 . Purchased West Coast and Central American CMAP chips . Installed redundant Furuno Autopilot (including pump, Fluxgate compass, rudder position indicator.) . Installed redundant Navigation Computer . 12V Automotive Computer w ruggedized hard drive . Dual Keyboard/Mouse, wireless and hardwired . 19" Nauticomp Display . Installed FLIR forward looking Pan/Tilt IR camera . Installed Redundant ICOM VHF radio . Replaced failing Loudhailer . Installed additional engine room camera (stern camera to be installed) . Installed Airmar ultrasonic weather station . Replaced VHF antenna with Digital Antenna 9db . Installed Dual mode VHF/Cell phone Digital Antenna . Installed Digital Antenna Cell amplifier . Activated Fleet 33 Inmarsat Voice and Data service . Activated Verizon EVDO service via USB720 modem Misc . Purchased $1,700 in Charts from Bellingham Chart Printers (US West Coast, Mexico, C.A. to FL) . Modified Honey bunk into library to store charts, books and manuals . Purchased a medical kit from Lafferties Pharmacy in Ballard WA, learned how to administer shots and use an EPPI pin. . Installed wireless Bluetooth printer and scanner . Installed additional Dell laptop for redundancy . Installed Coastal Explorer w Miltec AIS receiver (and VHF antenna splitter) . Purchased 2ea Dahon folding bicycles (custom bags for bikes and Tender) . Hired Bob Senter (Lugger) for 1 day engine room review (identified two installation defects in boat cabling) Entertainment . Installed Panasonic Projector and Screen (yielding 50" image in saloon) . Installed Sony 2.1 Surround sound w sub woofer (modified cabinets to accommodate) . Installed KVH M3 sat TV w DirecTV service . Installed OPPO upscaling 1080i DVD player I did all the work myself, except sowing the bike bags and Tender cover. I hired a woodworking expert from The Marine Artisans Group in Seattle to complete the library shelf installation as my skills in the fine finishing department weren't up to snuff. In addition to the items listed we replaced all the oil and filters, zincs, had the bottom cleaned, boat washed and waxed and other maintenance chores. Most of this has been done since February when I quit my day job. Since moving aboard a month ago I have watched less then two hours of TV, but we have watched a few movies on the projector. By the way, the projector was one of my best decisions. It far exceeded my expectations! Oh, re-reading my statement above, it would be unfair to say I did this myself. I have two very good friends, Tom Brownlee and Jim Lewis, both of whom spent countless hours helping pull wire, talk me out of stupid ideas and perform other bothersome tasks. Having good friends to help you prepare is invaluable. Finally, my wife has been equally busy planning two weddings with my daughters and preparing the boat from a provisioning and accommodations standpoint. With less than 96 hours to go to departure I'm still considering pulling the console apart one more time to add some more components. Crazy at this point! Oh, we also sold a house, two cars and it appears my Camano has finally found a new home. You know a key indicator that your close to leaving? My key ring now holds one key. The boat key. The other key belongs to my brother-in-law who has a truck we have borrowed until Friday. If anyone would like more detail on any aspect of this work, just drop me a note and I'll elaborate.

" Drilled primary Anchor to accept retaining pin for bow pulpit" Bad idea. In a storm or collision, pin can get bent rendering anchor inoperable. To retain anchor on pulpit or bow roller, use line in lieu of pin. Pin is there to prevent anchor rode from jumping roller sheave. BTW, did upgrading to NAVNET 2 mean trading unit in a swap-out or are NAVNET 1 units upgradeable? Ron Rogers

scott - " Drilled primary Anchor to accept retaining pin for bow pulpit" Ron suggested: Bad idea. In a storm or collision, pin can get bent rendering anchor inoperable. Scott retorts: Respectfully disagree, if this pin bends I have much, much bigger problems to contemplate. The hole is oversized, it would have to bend 25 degrees to become frozen in place. Coming up the coast last year the anchor almost launched itself off the pulpit as we neared Pt. Conception. Mike secured it in place with the windless, a practice necessary for our situation, but not one that should be routinely implemented. The pin is over an inch in diameter, the bending forces required would be enormous, as I said, in a situation bad enough to bend the pin I'd already be up s*&t creek and kissing my ass goodbye. Ron asked: BTW, did upgrading to NAVNET 2 mean trading unit in a swap-out or are NAVNET 1 units upgradeable? Scott shares: The Furuno Navnet1 units are NOT upgradable. It was a hardware replacement. The ROI was twofold. First by moving to the Navnet 2 I could use the CMAP Max Wide chips, saving thousands on cartagrophy for my trip. Second I got a much faster processor and much better display. If I'm able to sell the Furuno unit I removed I'll have an out of pocket cost of about $1,000. A reasonable upgrade in my opinion. Scott Bulger, Alanui, N40II, Seattle WA

Who knew? A 1" diameter pin! For lesser boats, rope is better. Boy, wish I could sell my Navnet 1 stuff. Ron Rogers

Scott, Do you still plan to be in Neah Bay on the 30th or so? Sounds like you were planning on leaving Seattle around the 20th. Still considering cruising out to give and others a send off.

John asked: Scott, Do you still plan to be in Neah Bay on the 30th or so Hi, We departed Seattle this morning, are currently in Pt. Hudson Marina (Port Townsend WA). We are shaking down the boat for 10 days prior to leaving. Yes, we plan to meet in Neah Bay on 8/30, I believe the only confirmed people are ourselves and Patrick and Susan Coonan. Others are leaving earlier. If anyone is interested in meeting, please drop me a line. An alternative to meeting in Neah Bay is to meet in Friday Harbor on 8/28 or John Wayne Marina in Port Angeles on 8/29. No need to come all the way out to Neah Bay to wish us well, I'd rather share a beer with you in Friday Harbor! Thanks!!

Not after all your contributions to PUP! Since I'm new to trawlering and passagemaking, I've been following your very organized preparations... very informative. I expect to learn much more as you relate your experiences the next year. While we're only cruising south BC and San Juans this year, we plan to do Alaska next year and then go way south the next. This PUP group, which you've shared so much with, is one of my primary sources of knowledge.
