I’ve ordered the LED replacement bulbs for the anchor and running lights; they really draw a lot less power.
Being at the dock is cool, we are just 2 houses down the street from Chuck’s house. Guin is running around and swimming every day and I have time to get stuff done. I’m going to get this diesel motor for the generator running but I don’t think it will generate power. Sooo much rust has fallen out of the generator part. I either need to get a new one or just hook it up to an alternator at some point. I’m going to be in the market for a little Honda generator as soon as I can find and afford one.
Today I have the nasty task of changing the oil and internal fuel filter in Splendid’s main engine (Perkins 4108), ARRRGGG!
I wanted to be out of here in the next couple days but Guin’s Dad is coming for a visit and I have plenty of projects to do. I’m hoping early next week.
Darrin spent his last few dollars on a used main with 3 reef points, he’s psyched!!!
All is good. I’m keeping a close eye on the national hurricane center page (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/). I’m hoping for good weather on our miles north.
Peace everyone.
Sail far and live slowly.
