End of summer


 All A/C Units working Genny was serviced, it now works great. Just another example of what happens on boats that just sit. This fall we are pulling early in order to start the bow thruster installation. Looking for LED lighting and new carpet or hardwood, I'll let the Admiral decide. Taking boat to a cove for the long weekend.

LOtsa work!

 The boat has been neglected. It has had light use, spent most of the last 5 years on a lift.

 The Engines are 5.9 Cummins with 700 hours. The AC didn't work, it was the raw water pump that feeds all three. FIXED!  The Genny is a 10kw Kohler with
 a 3 cylinder Yanmar. The center cylinder is not firing, Went through all the normal procedures, the head may have to come off. Other than that, the new top is on and she is coming along.

The new floor went in, New side windows, new regulator for the alternator, replaced the Raymarine S2G with an S3 computer. The boat was surveyed and found to be in great shape. I did however get a list of things to do. I am going to work through them and post them here. Toady the mast is pulled and I winterized her. Getting the boat shrink wrapped soon.

 Just an old shot of Hawaii. Reality is, a winter storm is bearing down on us. I am working in my garage on the new instrument panel and a few new cupboards. I tore the floor out of the cabin and need to find a replacement. I'll update when I have something photoworthy.
