Vira - Sailboat rebuild, Irwin Citation 34

Welcome to marina.   Dock cleats for main docking lines.  Yes, now I can drop line.  Strings still tied to dock frame. Check - fit companion way vertical slides, two smaller need to be shortened for an inch. Nothing interesting to show now.   Run around motor,       confirmed it is 2QM20H - 86264      Installed air filter, with current fuel pipes configuration "nose" may look only on top.     Checked oil     Tried to check sensors, several openings:           a) Cooling water drain in front cylinder is little draining to bilge. WTF, i did not understand why water is collected in the bilge when I start motor.             b) "ignition switch" is not switching "ON" wire, actually swtich is ok, 12V is coming from somewhere to Red-Black wire. Need to figure out what is going. c) Open positive wires from battery!!!! kidding  just connection...

 Day 4, 12/18/2021 Lake Travis, transfer Sea Sun (Hunter 19) from West Beach Marine to Commanders point Marine to put side-by-side to Vira (Irvin 34). BTW name agreed  Irvin's name now Vira.

3 Weeks over from Day 1, I traveled to to Estonia and Ukraine.  Day 2. 8 hours spent for 4 things. 1) starboard side, rotted decorative plywood panels removed. Some teal planks was savaged. All chap cleaned,  lockers in the back of sit cleaned as well. Top liner removed - a lot of dust in the liner.    2) stuffing box clamps replaced Found cracked glass and soaked/rotted core where driveshaft tube glassed. Need to be addressed when boat will be on hard. Cleaned machine room floor/bilge from mud. 3) Centerboard control line under galley sink, added the second clamp   4) Cleaned starboard deck and cockpit. Now boat looks MUCH better.
