2021-02-21 Sunday - Small Steps
Today, I made a trip to West Marine, bought a few bits of gear (coax connectors to reconnect the wiring from the mast to the VHF radio and the mast head weather instruments)

| West Marine, SHAKESPEARE–PL-258 Gold-Plated Center-Pin Connector, RG-8X or RG-58/AU |
...and new fender lines and fender hangers:
I ran the engine, and installed some of the new fender line gear.
Ordered some additional nuts & washers (304 stainless steel and brass) on Amazon for my boat tool box.
These are small steps...the work to prepare the boat for voyaging has begun.

Stern Garden - First Baby Tomato

| Tomato Plan - Starboard, stern-quarter |
Hmmm...
I was afraid I was putting too much water into the tomato plant pot.
But, now I believe I haven't been putting enough...
