A Few More Modification

 After my four and five day cruises I decided that I need to refine my storage and organization systems on Fib.  Using larger bags, coolers, water containers means that I am unable to store all these 'below' so ma forever shifting these around.  Also, in the event of a capsize or other emergency these items could be at risk of entanglement or loss.



Large water container that is difficult to store replaced by smaller 1-2 litre bottles more easily stowed.  Note also that I found a handy fender stowage solution.


The compartment below these hatch tends to get wet from a tiny leak from adjacent water ballast tank but is fine for holding small water containers.  


Added 8" hatch to access area beneath port bench.  Originally wanted to keep the benchtops clear of hatches but this makes sense and do not sit on that spot in realty.  I have another hatch that may get installed on the aft end of the starboard bench. 



Two plastic organizers on either side of veranda to hold radio, sunscreen, gps, etc.






I have had these handy recycle boxes since my last boat but worried about losing lids so added a couple of bungies to each'
