Tomorrows

Time sure flies. Here we are house closed up, back on the boat and ready to get going on the next leg of our "journey". We had a happy Easter weekend with our kids big and small! Sydney was a little intimidated by the Easter Bunny we went to see but Cole thought he was Fabulous. Wish I could send the video Kent took it is a classic. It was so nice to see them and get those hugs!

Now we are back at it. Gary has 2 coats of paint on the bottom of the dink and we will attempt to turn her over today to start the top. I spent yesterday morning washing the boat and managed to conjure up an evening of thunder and rain. Gary worked on the dinghy and cut a few pieces of starboard to cover up some of the multitude of holes we keep finding and then had lunch with Andy Manzi while I provisioned staples for the next part of our journey.

Of course we did not get away without breaking out the boat units this week. I think you remember the starboard engine stalled before we left and we decided to table it until we returned. We need a new fuel pump. Then last night our hearts fell into our stomachs when we turned on the air conditioner while getting dinner ready and it suddenly shut down. I thought "oh no, if one more thing goes wrong"!@$% I think we were both a little afraid to find out what was wrong with it so we decided to wait until morning.
Are you sensing a pattern here....wait until tomorrow!

This morning Gary tackled it and it turned out that the breaker blew. Guess you can't use the stove and air at the same time, with the frig running (even the new one seems to run constantly). Man we sure miss the ease of living in a house especially after returning from a week at home. You don't have to think about those things you can use whatever whenever. Electricity is a major factor on a boat everything just seems to EAT AMPS! I am immensely relieved that it was a quick fix this time because my stress level is starting to rise again.
