Returning our first attempt at cheap refrigeration.

Steven and Tony are applying silicone to the deck holes and cracks. A temp fix but we can look a little less gypsy without so many tarps.

Starboard lifelines are up. Now, I can properly attach myself to the boat. Minimizing man overboard opportunities.
