March 11 More Projects
Time is flying by, and boat projects are slowing getting done, but they
will never be finished. As soon as you get one or 2 done others pop up,
a never-ending cycle, but such is boat life.
Gerry installed solar panels which run all the 12 volt stuff
in the boat. Earlier he took a gazebo canopy, attached snaps to it and
the boat, installed tent poles and voila a perfectly fitting sun cover to protect the flybridge seats.
A good idea - but needs work. We bought Loran antennas and put
"horns" on them, from which to hang dock lines so we can dock the boat
easier. The weight of the PVC piping bends them over - back to the drawing board!

| After 6 weeks of hooking I finished the 3 x 5 rug which incorporates the boats name. |
 |
| and speaking of names, we finally got her name on the stern (and sides) |
I
hope they can fix bridges better than they can hang signs. We found
this floating in our bay. They were very grateful when we returned it.
Scraping Ramblynn's old letters off. A much harder job than Dirty Girl
as they've been roasting in the hot Bahamian sun for years.
Besides day-to-day living and boat projects we've been:
 |
| Driving on the beach at low tide. |
 |
| Lobster hunting with Bill and Sylvan (a failed mission). |
 |
| Snorkelling with Joseph. Also a failure since we couldn't find a mask that fit him. |
 |
| and found they've taken a bulldozer to some of the Old Freetown Road which means more people will have access to "our" beaches. Horrors! |
