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.

Start of Season Engine Maintenance

by Steve

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,

New built-in Drink Fridge

by Steve

One of the first things we removed from the boat when we purchased it was the built in stereo which didn’t work, and was way outdated. The stereo was located behind the mirrored door on the starboard side to the right of the stairs up to the pilot house. That stereo was someone audiophile sweet

Fresh Zincs

Yesterday with the help of the boys and our new SNUBA setup we replaced most of the zincs on the boat, and scraped barnacles, muscles and other growth from around the water pickup ports. Still todo are the zincs on the trim tabs, but it got a bit too cold for the boys before we

Floating in Ice

LED Lighting – Phase 1

by Steve

Over the weekend while staying at Roche Harbor, I had some time to finish the install of what I am calling Phase 1 of our outside LED lighting. I had previously run 12v power to the upper panel in the pilothouse above the main windows. For those about 6ft tall, that is the area that

Blazing Internet Speeds with MOFI

- October 9, 2021

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

Roche Harbor in the Off Season

by Steve

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
