A 32 year old boat always has projects to be done. I can’t really complain because I don’t have yard work to do any more, don’t have a job, don’t have a car anymore…..I guess we’re almost homeless.
Traced down two new leaks and caulked them. Replaced a navigational light and started developing a course through the Bahamas…. The anchor line snubber I fabricated is not working the way I envisioned. I need to replace the “clam” with a hook to secure the chain. In Loggerhead I decided I needed a heavier anchor. I purchased an 88pound spade anchor and it arrived in a huge box.
Roger and George helped me install it as that was the time I was having a lot of back issues…..
Roger used his dinghy to connect the anchor to the chain.
I don’t know how I would have done this without them….
I marked the chain with a four color paint scheme in order to determine him much chain I had out…..
We need to find a place to top off fuel and water. Water in the Bahamas is 25 cents a gallon….and we have a 700 gallon water tank. I running low on rum and we have trash we need to unload. The rum issue is the most critical…..We talked a couple guys into bringing a couple bags of ice from the mainland which they did and refused any money.
Susan is still making gourmet meals and I’m gaining weight again….every night she is trying recipes to prepare for our guests.
i love being the Guinea pig…..
