| We bent on the mainsail so we could try on the new mainsail cover Virginia sewed. It fits great! You can also see the new hatch I made and a shade cover for the dodger window. |
Just a quick update on a few projects aboard
Oceanus. My wife sewed up a storm over the last few weeks. Her largest project so far, at least in yards of canvas used, is the new mainsail cover. She ordered a kit from our friends at SailRite hoping it would work. We had a mainsail cover from a mystery boat that sort of fit so between the two she made one and it is close to perfect.

| A close look at the shade cover for the dodger window. It's made out of Sunbrella Panorama View, which you can't get anymore. |
 |
| Virginia made this oversized pillow out of left over foam from the bunks. It will be great as a backrest in the cockpit. She also made sheet bags for the traveler adjustment lines. |
 |
| She made more pillows for the interior. My favorite features a beautiful cross stitch sampler she made for me as a gift about 25 years ago. The bolster pillows feel great when you put them behind the small of your back. |
 |
| I made this medicine chest from mahogany using dovetails for the case and mortise and tenon joinery for the door. I had my glass guy put a vinyl backing on the mirror for safety. |
 |
| Here you can see the dovetails. |
 |
| More dovetails, in teak this time, for the replacement hatch. The lens is of 3/8-inch polycarbonate from TAP Plastics. |
 |
| The new washer and dryer aboard Oceanus. They came from three different sources. |
