March 2012

Whooeee are we having fun.  Spending money like no tomorrow.  As of today Dave, Jon, Rich and Ron have finished the huge re-wiring of the main circuits, installed the new gas range and tanks locker, done some spot painting on the decks and are well into refinishing the bottom.  Friend Dan Ritacco has agreed to make us a new helm door.  The "fishfinder depth meter has been replaced with a network system that includes, drum roll, ....sonar!!!!!

Most likely sometime week after next we will be back in the water and begin testing the electrical systems and the propane setup.  This will reduce the role of the generator to backing up things and it will hopefully get little to no use.  Silence is golden.  Yet to be done is the installation of a new inverter.

Right now the interior is a chaotic and not very welcome space with panels open, cushions stacked everywhere along with tools, cables, and who knows what else.  A typical boat project.  Throw buckets of money and hope it does something useful.

Just heard from ALGONQUIN and they have arrived in the Bahamas....nuff said.
