We have been keeping busy checking out the systems on the boat and preparing to venture out of our slip here at Semiahmoo. A couple of days ago we flaked out the chain in the dock. It was a dry day and so was able to get a metal primer coat on six links every 25 foot intervals. (read an article that said a primer coat would help the finish coat stay on longer.) Coolish weather slows the drying time, but the next afternoon is was dry enough to put on top coat. Let it dry for two days and put the chain back away yesterday. So the anchoring system seems ready to go. 
We got the dingy out, inflated and hauled up with spinnaker halyard to what looks like a secure place on the foredeck. So the dingy system seems ready to go.
Tina tried out the bosun's chair, Tad taking her 50 feet up the mast..then forgot to take a picture of the momentous occasion! So, this isn't Tina in the photo below, but it is a visual of what a bosun's chair looks like:
