Saturday, February 4: Let the projects begin!

First order of business was to clean the plastic (vinyl) around the flybridge. It was up for 2 months in Baltimore and 2 months in Jacksonville so it was getting pretty dirty. We don't leave it up here because the breeze is usually warm enough that we don't need it. Plus it's much nicer sitting on the flybridge with it not up. sal;jf a; ij;we ;awf awia faeij af e e.kai ;eqoii mjowie fio ;] askfajwo;ewf qf e ksa;eiw; aiw; i;eew akf djjwaaaaaaaaa; ;iA IWEEEEEEEEE ;AEWEFFFA ;IJ alfj a alsf asj fa'j fal fj Finally it was time to try out Steve's new kayak. His old one was getting some tears on the seams which I patched using my hot glue gun but it was really just time. So when in Baltimore, West Marine had kayaks on sale so we found one very much like his old one but a couple of feet longer and a larger opening (he always had a hard time getting his legs underneath the front). First, take it out of the bag, then use the supplied pump to inflate the 2 separate chambers and we were good to go! It was a relatively short journey as the wind was still blowing pretty good and this was the first time Steve had kayaked since breaking his arm so we thought a short ride might be best! aj;jaie;a iao waiowea ;ai 'a a'loe wa' oa' kwa dska fskdfoe iwae;kfeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaf38ihrjf hawehf a3ia ajk alsd awi a; fji; eiqofj9 3i21p23 rj1p293 rj13ioj weel; j;q;3jir;1j r832;238 2;pr 19;328; 1j3;j 2jr 1j I'm continuing my quest of the Skyward Sword with Link and moving along nicely! Just had to include this screen shot of the giant sword Link was able to pick up and use to help beat the automotron. Sadly, he couldn't take it with him :-( ksj;afsow oerjqoalfja djsl;oeiwofj ojq 3jpjocj j p awe fklz ;fasf afsdkslf aslfjsd;fj fs afs;l asfjal ewqp jq;3 wj qriq eo[we wr qw[r w eief qw eroqwrioqprq a;jeofw w;wo wo wer qeoiwjo ;sajo ;wio ;qo i;we jw;e 'ijwe woq j[3 roiqj3r2pqr 2123 4 qj3pr392q rpqj 3r2r33 q3p ldiiefakf;asliew;i;fa;fj;awafjaq kds f;ajseof ;awe88f ;weeeeeeeeeeeeeefoj8fwej a fijwef8i wie aw; a jafi a Today we started of those jobs that will get rid of something that is a constant source of annoyance - our holding tank and it's issues. Fiberglassing was in order so first and foremost was safety!! I'm actually smiling under the mask :-) Of course the holding tank that needed fixed is under the deck and as usual, it is 10 times easier for me to crawl and work under there than it is for Steve. So first sanding with the multitool, wipe with acetone and two layers of fiberglass cloth. Worked great and looks good too! Hopefully this will take care of the leak :-) We tried repairing the crack with epoxy putty but it just cracked again (twice). So now it was fix it right. More work on the holding tank system - maybe Monday. Superbowl tomorrow!! No work :-) Tonight: pot luck superbowl party here at the marina - should be fun.
