Today, I began the arduous task of entering the GPS coordinance in for the trip.  We also checked the electrical system.  Except for a loose wiring connection in the bilge pump, the electrical system is good to go.

Today we will be on the boat finally testing the electrical system and punching in the coordinance.  We also decided to purchase a hand held GPS. The reason being,  we can not find our mooring.  The mooring ball ripped off in February.  We have attempted to dive for it before but the current was to strong.  The next dive will have to be at slack water.  

On a side note: I almost had to checked the GPS to make sure we were still in Maine and not Washington State or Oregon.

We finally had good weather here in Portland, Maine to bottom paint the boat.  Weather permitting boat gets second coat and we hunt for mooring tackle off the east end.  Later in the week we begin entering cordinance into the GPS and check the electrical system.
