This meant my next week was spent repairing the boat in San Francisco I did not get to do any site seeing until the following week, but thats boat I guess. I fixed things better, I used bolts instead of screws, and heres to hoping it will last this time.
The list of jobs included:
  • Fix the draws that broke
  • Fix the seat that tore out of the floor
  • Fix the water maker
  • Add a water bottle/cup holder bellow decks
  • Add cabinet for the water maker
  • Fix the lee cloths
  • Replace the wind indicator that blew off 
  • Repair the sails
  • Fix the gas locker for the spare gas cylinder
and the list of small things goes on ....
See below some pics of the work
