The Art of Cruising

Well, time flies especially when you are putting your 50' boat back together after some idiots have ripped most of it apart despite the fact that you insisted it should all fit into a budget. Why do boatyards, and I understand contractors have the same problem when fixing houses, think that everyone has an unlimited budget?

Anyway enough whining. I know alot more about our boat now than I did a year ago. I know lots of things that the average person wouldnt know..like how to do teak rails, how to install an intellian satellite TV antennae and keep it running, how to install a diesel fired fireplace, how to install tile, how to trouble shoot for leaks in a water system, how to change the pop up pressure relief valve on a hot water tank, how to install the freezer door on a Dometic refrigerator..now that was tough. Why did they take it off in the first place is my question!

Now the next phase is: how to reinstall a hot water Kabola system back into our boat after the 'idiots' cut it out of the engine room even though there was not a thing wrong with it ...even after the fire! This should be very educational.



So, not alot of time to paint, draw or do the things we love. However that time is coming.
