Today we were reviewing carpet samples on the boat for new carpet to go throughout. The salon, stairs, hallway, staterooms and pilothouse. Here are the samples we are considering. The darker gray one is currently the leading selection. More to come as we make the pick and get it scheduled for install.
As boating season approaches, I am doing everything I can to help ensure a hassle free season. Last weekend we updated the zincs and cleaned the water inlet on the bottom of the boat. This weekend is more on engine fluids. I checked the oil levels and they were good then checked the antifreeze/coolant levels,
One of my favorite Christmas presents this year was the custom branded door mat for the boat. It really makes the entry look great.

We are at Roche Harbor this weekend, and of course we have our onboard internet with our MOFI router using TMobile service. Starting out the trip we had the router plugged in in the master stateroom, the internet speeds were a bit slow, so I moved it to the dashboard in the pilothouse, almost directly
Last night we stayed at Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, and we will be staying again tonight. This marks night 40 and 41 that we have spent on the boat so far. Roche Harbor is not to full this time of year. The nice thing is that the off season nightly prices are much
