first you dig a hole........

Electrolysis

Definition: Chemical decomposition produced by passing an electric current through a liquid or solution containing ions. (Not the hair removal kind).


We've had problems with zincs disappearing from all the boats and once the zincs are gone any other metal on the boats will start to disappear as well.  Dirty Girl appears to be the culprit.

To save the other boats:

dig a hole and plant Ramblynn's old propeller shaft:

get a well-trained mason (or Gerry) to fill it full of cement:

attach a green wire to the shaft, dig a trench, bury green wire:

 strategically attach said wire to the electrical box by a certified electrician (or Les):

and voila,

Covered the pole with this globe that floated into the bay and put a solar light inside.

Dirty Girl is separately grounded from the other boats which should solve their zinc problem. It also and excellent place to get another line on the boat. Hopefully some day soon we'll figure out Dirty Girl's electrical problem. Any thoughts and/or suggestions are welcome.

PS
It's not just work around here we do have fun too:

Lunch on the beach at Banana Bay with Les and Chris. So sad their trip was cut short  :(
