After a pretty good nights sleep, quite warm and toasty with outside temps in the mid 30's, we started the day with Beth preparing a nice pancake breakfast. I started on the tool room but only got about 1/2 way done when I found the wrench I needed to fix the head. Needless to say, refurbishing the head is a pretty shitty job. I am pretty sure I found the leak and believe it to be fixed. It will be tomorrow morning to see if there is additional water in the port bilge. Beth got as much as she could out with the shop vac so we will see in the morning.
I managed to also get the arch GPS unit hooked back up and actually powered on the Raymarine C70 unit. It took it quite a while to get a fix but once it did, the chart plotter function showed us everything around us and the Radar unit was very cool. This was the first time it had ever been turned on and worked perfectly. While we will both have to read the book on the fine art of reading radar, it will be a most useful tool aboard the boat.
It has remained quite chilly all day so most of the work was done inside. Beth keeps complaining that its too cold and as night falls, it gets chilly quick. We had a nice hotdog lunch and will have BBQ chicken for dinner then retire to a dvd movie. The dogs seem to be enjoying the boat fine. We take them on frequent walks, about as often as we do at the apartment, and they seem to snuggle up in their little doggy beds and not have a care in the world.
It looks like my cold symptoms have abated for the most part. I am a bit achy but enjoying the boat too much to let it get me down. Only a few new scrapes on my hands from the days labor.
Life is good on the boat !!
