The last few days have been really busy. Neil has been a welding fool with tremendous results. The dinghy is hung. The solar panels are on. The wind generator is on. The bimini cover is being stitched up and fitted. The hatch covers are done. The radar is wired in and is amazing! The wind generator should be wired in today along with the switches for the solar panels. The solar panels are already producing so much juice. It will be something to see how much we get today and tonight as the storm hits the bay. Between the two I don't see having much of an energy crisis while offshore or anchored. We have been sailing for years with little energy stores and have gotten used to running things low. The LED lights inside and out have made a huge difference. The way its going the kids will get to enjoy a movie every day along with some game time if so desired. This is of coarse after studies are out of the way! :0) I am excited now as to how the sewing is coming along. It took some tweaking of the thread tension in order to produce two sides that look good. I have really learned alot in the last few days and my anxiety over building our "covered porch" has become less. We have a storm coming in today so that puts us back down below which is good since we have just a small amount of wiring left. I hope to have the bimini roof piece done today and will plan on getting sides measured and started tomorrow. Busy Busy Busy but I like it.
Earlier this week Katie and I were able to run down to Monterey to retrieve our mail and have a much too short visit with friends we regard as family. Mike , Jada, Mikey, and Krislyn. I am looking forward to a much longer visit before we head out.
We had a fun evening,earlier this week, visiting on James's boat (Dreamgirl) with friend Eileen. There was a lot of sailing talk and hopes of Eileen visiting us in Mexico. After all doesn't everyone want to visit us in Mexico?? But of coarse!
