Enjoying Our Time on the Water

Countdown is at 314 days to Looping!

The past few weeks work on boat projects has slowed slightly as we have been enjoying our boat, weather and time with friends.  Below are pictures of some of the friends we have shared good times with.





















Ever since we first got this boat, the table on the fly bridge has been slanted toward the stern of the boat. Anything you placed on the table would slide toward the edge of the table!. We have solved the problem by putting a shim under the table hinge and raising the back edge of the table. Now we can enjoy food and drink and not chase the items around the table!




















Earlier this year, we had replaced the chair at the inside steering station. We soon discovered that we needed to install foot rests, since when you were sitting in the chair, your feet would just dangle, they would not reach the rung on the chair. Voila, we now have foot rests!














Here is Bob installing the new hailer speaker. The VHF radio we installed earlier is connected to this speaker. The radio has a couple of interesting options, in foggy conditions, it can be used as a fog horn. It can be programmed to emit a fog signal a specifically timed intervals so other boats in the area will know you are there. It can also be used as an intercom between the person working on the foredeck and the captain at the helm. Pretty neat!!

Birthday celebration.  All three ladies have a birthday on consecutive days!



More time with friends
