Today is one of ~those~ live aboard days. A rainy Connecticut day. It means no dog park and no outdoor boat projects. The first order of business was to drop my truck off for an oil change. Bac…

Sanitation
April 25, 2009Stinky job, but needed to be done. We were noticing more and more head odor in the boat, so we replaced all of the sanitation hose. The hose ain’t cheap. I think we paid $8/foot, for Trident 101/102 premium hose (white) from Defender. …
Access Door
April 23, 2009A nice little addition. Our PFDs are in the aft bench, which is a little difficult to access because you have to pull up the cushions and panel of the bench seat, while working around the table. We wanted an access door in the side. Ma…

April 23, 2009Our flybridge windscreen has had a crack through it ever since we bought the boat. Having mostly completed the higher-priority issues, I finally had a new windscreen fabricated by Total Plastics in Baltimore.I brought them the old windscr…

St Augustine Adventures – Days 198 to 205 – Daytona Beach to St Augustine
We departed Daytona Beach early Sunday morning (April 17) after taking on 161 gallons of diesel at $3.83/gal, the highest we’ve paid thus far. Good news, we could have paid $4.39 at Vero Beach and $4.10 at St Augustine. Bad n…
