Some days you just need 'Ben and Jerry's' Cookie Dough Ice cream!
How Sea Otter is looking down below, Saloon and aft cabin shots
Today was another one of those low progress days, or no progress days. It was forecast for showers and although we haven't had any, the day was overcast and dull. Our Solar Panel continues to kick out the amps though even on a day like today.
We mucked about trying different set ups for our jack lines this morning. These are lines that run forward along the deck securely attached fore and aft. They allow you to clip your harness on from the cockpit, which means you can move safely along the deck at night, without the risk of falling overboard. The rule has always been for us, that at night on watch you are always clipped on and NO ONE goes forward of the cockpit without waking up the other person. On a new boat you need to spend some time working out where the attachments are going to be.
We got word today that the technician will come to the boat tomorrow morning to start the installation of the Autohelm...yahoo! However the stainless steel plate is not ready, so this is just partial installation. We also hope to pick up our Satellite phone prepaid card tomorrow or Friday. Which means we are on to the last few items on the list. How about that?
Next week is going to be a BIG week!! But more about why, next Blog?????
