Acquire the Needed Tools
Obtain tools.
I
used my list of identified suppliers to call around and find out where to get
the tools needed, then added the tools acquisitions to my “to do” list
(sorted alphabetically rather than in priority sequence).
Some
of the tools needed were already in the garage workshop, others needed to be
purchased, or borrowed from my neighbor.
Today
some of these tools are in an on-board, waterproof toolbox, and others are in
an on-shore toolbox that I keep in my car.
The on-board toolbox is limited to those tools that for sure could be
needed when out sailing, provided they would not be expensive to replace, if
lost overboard. Still other tools are
in a large metal toolbox in my garage workshop, and others are hanging on a
tool pegboard in the workshop.
To
see a list of the tools that were and are most useful, look at my tools list.
