STILL WORKING


Hello everyone. We finished painting the bottom of the hulls, 4 gallons of paint and many hours of work (for Paul). We saved a lot of money doing it ourselves. Last year we had no time and paid to have it done. There is scaffolding in the way of my photo because the brand new rub rail is in and it is getting installed on Monday. This morning we washed the whole outside of the boat down as all the sanding left a black dust film all over it. It is a very humid day today, the weather changes from one day to the next in the feel of the temperature.


Please note that there is no rub rail. I will post
a picture next week with the new black one on.
Many things happening next week: fibreglass work done on the inside of the platform steps down below in the engine room, the rub rail, water pump for the watermaker installation, and the list goes on. We want the boat to go into the water as soon as possible as we check out of the motel tomorrow. We have a counter air conditioner in the galley and we are anxious to get in the water to use the boat's air conditioner. Then the whole boat is air conditioned. I use the bar countertop preparing food as the galley is occupied.... but down here an air conditioner is a must!!! What did people do in the “olden” days? The molds alone would have kept the housewives very busy.

When we came back last August our two very favourite Canada pillows were full of mold spots all over. I did spend the money washing them in a large machine at the laundromat this week BUT to no avail. I had to throw them out. BUT this July I did get another one on sale, after the holiday. So I took a picture of it. I know, you are thinking, jeez Shannon, you are desparate for a blog post aren't you. Yup, I am.

Our new centrepiece, changed from a wooden dish to
this unique boat shaped dish

The brand new Canada pillow bought after July 1st holiday

Please stay tuned for the next blog,... Operation Mayonnaise! Yes, that post will be a good one.
