The single side band radio installation is nearly complete.  Thank God!  My back hurts from crawling into and out of the lazarette a hundred times and endless boat yoga in the quarterberth, engine room and head lockers.  Now I'm just waiting for a special power connection plug that I had to order from a company up in Canada.  It should arrive in a few days, and then the big moment:  Will it work?  How well?  I also still need to get my station license from the FCC ($300 now!).
Had some rain and big winds this week, enough to knock down quite a lot of trees.  Once the storm and winds passed, it was delightful.
