We left for Millville Thursday night and I "worked from home" on Friday. That Friday we cut the plastic off the boat. Chris did most all of it. Our goal for the afternoon was to just get the canvas up. We installed radar last year and now the canvas hangs down around the antenna because it was mounted on top of some of the snaps that had been used to attach the canvas. We'll talk to Eva and find out what she recommends to correct the problem.
In addition to the standard waxing and painting this spring there is an exhaust leak to be repaired on the starboard engine and the swim platform needs fiberglass work where they overtightened the screws last season. I noticed also that a teak board on the port gunwale had split. Maybe this gets put off to next season.
On Saturday we drove out to Balic Winery in a real downpour. We tasted some of the same wine that we'd had at Tuckerton and came away with a bottle of Alexander that Great to have with dinner that night. Unfortunately it had turned. I look forward to the other 2 bottles; Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Velvet.
There was no hot water so Kevie coaxed me downstairs to take a look at the HW heater. I had installed an X10 control box to turn the water heater off and on by remote control and one of the wires had arced where I spliced in the control box. Sunday I went off to Latorre hardware and bought a junction box and some romex. After mounting the box and running the replacement cable I buttoned it up and believe I've got an installation that won't burn down the house anytime soon.
