Gratitude Projects...long with multiple posts

Over the past 9-10 months, I've posed a lot of questions to this group regarding solar panel mounting, methods of locking the wheel securely, and much more.

Back in January when we started planning our trip, I printed a top and side view of our boat on a tabloid size page and then made notes of all the jobs to do. We hired out a lot and did a lot ourselves. We won't talk about costs.

Every time a project was completely finished, it got crossed off. Some are not included such as the survey which recommended changing the cutless bearing that in turn found corrosion of our stern tube.

Anyway, here's the diagram. We can thank Tom Keffer for adding the helmsman's comment bubble: "WTF"

I'll follow this with about a dozen more posts.

Sorry if the text is not very legible. I posted this more to show the process we went through than the detailed comment. I'll answer questions of course. Looking back, it is amazing we got it all done. Some of those one-line items took a week or two to complete.
