11.13.08 finishing touches

Jim has finished installing the storage box on the swim platform. It will hold the stern anchor in one compartment, a box with the dingy anchor and other stuff needed, and a 2 1/2 gal gas can.He also added a  couple of chocks for the dingy to rest on.  The ropes will hold it in place while underway. When we put the dingy in the water we can loop them under the outer corners of the swim platform  and secure them to the rail. That way they’ll be out of the way for loading. This photo shows how the dingy rides…the orange lifejackets are replaced with the chocks. It will make launching and retrieving much easier.
