Another Day

Well, we decided that the "old fridge" had to go. What a energy pig.  We broke down and spent the $$$ but it is sure worth it!  We installed it yesterday Dec 2 and it only uses less than 2 watts of power.  What a dream.  So the task is now to make a cabinet, stain it and she looks built in.  Home Depot is wonderful here, got the wood, had them cut it to size (no charge) and is ready to install.  The old fridge and freezer now will become storage areas for dry and canned goods.

Also, we wanted to have music....have the satellite radio but the radio on board is old, the speakers have crumbled and the sound, yuk.  So, we updated that so we will have tunes inside and out and now even out on the water!

The SSB (single side band) radio still needs work.  We can receive but not send!  As Chris and I are not electrical/electronic wizards, it will be a challenge to fix!  This radio is used to listen to "The Weather" each morning at 6:30 am and gives us what is coming through the Bahamas and South.  This is an excellent way of keeping track of other boats, their location and helps us to get where we want to go.

A cold front came in just the other day and wow the temperatures dropping and the winds picked up from the north.  Extra blankets are at hand and the dinghy ride into shore can be a little rough and wet! It will stay cool for another week or so. 

So, back to work.....today's chores are waiting......fix the head, wax the cockpit, install new radio!
