Tesara - To Do

Fortunately, all the really critical things left are not terribly time-consuming. Critical items are absolute requirements and must be done for the boat to be launched or sail. High priority items are things I'd like to finish before launch. Most medium items can be done at dockside. Low priority stuff can be put off unless it is easy.

Any help with these things would be appreciated. Obviously, I know I'm alone on cleaning the bilge, but if any of these things interests you, please let me know. Food and drink is always provided.
