What'd You Do to Your Boat Today ?

[senormechanico]

Today, I just looked out the window at the boat. It's still there.

Found two gaping holes in the back of my anchor locker. Poor workmanship which is the likely culprit of leaks into the forward cabin when sailing in a seaway. Of course this means I know what I'll be doing on my boat tomorrow. :-(

Emptied the water tanks, ready to be painted with that rubberised paint they use inside water tanks here...

Well, I didn't, the carpenter did it for us...

I am still awaiting answer to whether they will fix it or write it off.

Its 700 miles away, So I cant even look at it.

In this thread there are 3 boats, 700 miles away from owners,

So I went and had a look at some new anchors,

Found out the difference between a Super Sarca and a Sarca Excell,

Both excellent anchors, Set and forget type anchors, Just what I need,

A no 7 Super Sarca is right up my alley, got to have one of those,

And made in good old OZ,

I want my Baby back in one peice,

Cheers,
Brian,

The boat's on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. If I were living aboard, which I was until a few weeks ago but am now back in Thailand, I wouldn't be doing much since its winter. But every couple days I do have to empty the urine container for our composting toilet.

Well, you asked.

You wouldn't find your boat there! Hope you are making the trip for something else

I bought a Smart Plug for my shore power connection at the Seattle Boat Show yesterday.

I'll install it today if it stops raining.

Yesterday was the day I've been waiting for all winter long - that one 60* day in Jan.

I fired up the salamander to get the garage up to 70* and layed up a fibreglass patch on the inside of the hull where water under a holding tank had caused delamination.

I also installed depth and speed transducers, plus finished up the complete overhaul of the electrical system.

Today I'll clean up the mess inside the boat, take the o/b in for a major overhaul, do some small gel coat repairs to the outside of the cabin and deck; the go to work at 6pm.

Yeah, I'm obsessed.
