There's a hole in the boat, fill it up....

The weekend and early part of this week was spent fixing the rotten wood on the 1966, 39 ft Egg Harbor all wood, now with fiber glassed deck boat.  This is my Dad's baby.  Last week Nick took the egg to BI, and found that the anchor would not work (Windless).  The switch had stuck in the up position causing too much tension on the chain, and upon inspection found the whole front deck of the boat had gone to mush.  Nick surgically removed all the rotten cross members and decking, and we began the rebuilding of the deck to support the Windless.  Thanks to an Old sailor, Dave, who had done work on the boat before, we were able to fix the decking, but still need to attach and seal the Windless to the platform Dave carved out.  We got the last piece of Marine Plywood down and it the rain let loose.  I was merely a peon on this mission, which was just fine with me, with Nick taking the reigns.  I will be in RI for the whole week of the 24th, and hope no other issues arise. 
Nick and I will be going back down on Saturday, and I will forgo the Muster to finish the project, as my services will be needed to lift and hold the pull pit to the deck for attachment.  My main contribution, other than being a gofer, I kept telling them I am a golfer not a gofer, but no go, was to recondition the motor and drive shaft for the anchor chain.  This came out beautiful....:)  Simple things for simple minds I guess. 
I did get to ride on Monday, only about 11 miles at 17.2 MPH.  The ride would have been longer, but I had a flat on the rear.  Our first venture into C02, and it worked like a dream.  I did notice a slight wine on my bike when cranking out of the saddle.  I think it might be my front hub or bottom bracket.  I bought a new Ultegra SL bottom bracket just in case, and should be here next week for install.  I have to repack the front hub, and clean and oil the bike, because it rained last night on the return trip.  I also need to re-tape my handlebars.  I think I will let the shop do that today before our ride tonight, Maybe.
