Well put your "talented artist" to work painting that antifoul.

Not quite yet. We live in the Midwest, but visit family in St. Augustine for a week or so every winter. That's where the picture was taken. We shovel snow in the winter, just like you.

You are a lucky man, boatpoker.

Then I found out upon my return, that she'd used it to defrost the fridge.

New Frigoboat evaporator €600 euros + new Frigoboat condensor unit €800 euros. But now we have a brand new fridge.

She has done a generator impeller with me twice, but I'm not sure she could remove the heavy wooden cover by herself.

I walked in on the "hammer in the fridge" scenario on our first boat. Luckily, no damage.

To Pam's credit, she also tried to "fix" the fridge before I returned. It was only when I inquired as to why there was duct tape on the freezer evaporator that her escapade was revealed.

We both had a good laugh.
