The cutlass bearing is done, the new autohelm is almost done, many things are fastened down which were not previously fastened down, AND  the rudder is back on and has a first coat of “shark white” Micron CSC (making Marathon look somewhat like an upside down white-tip shark (kind of)) and on 17 September she should be back in the water.  Apparently the rudder had a very large amount of water in it but the stainless frame was still in tip-top condition, so all is good. Next – finish the autohelm, figure out how to fasten bits of floorboard and hatch covers and replace the water-tank inspection hatches. Then change the oil, waterpump impeller and add the batten boards for extra fuel and water, followed by provisions and we should be heading off next week.
