New Boat Owner
Well, it’s official! I’m a boat owner!
Now I need to get it into better shape and make it mine. I’ve made two trips to remove ‘old’ food. My tastes for boat food at the previous owners aren’t the same: I removed alot of raman, some Hormel Chili stuff, rice, and spaghetti. I also found a hidden cache of fabric paints. Tomorrow, I’ll take in some camping dishes. I’ll wait a bit on the food.
The first repairman has been on the boat and gone. I no longer have a coolant leak. Tomorrow, I’ll meet with the persons who can fix the rigging and do the odd jobs: put an anti-siphon valve in the line for the head, replace the ‘house’ electrical wiring with something more appropriate for a boat, and fix my steering pedestal. The person to fix the deck will meet with me next week. I’m hoping to get all the major items taken care of before I move the boat to its permanent slip. The rest, I should be able to do myself.
The new slip is close enough to home that I can take the bike. Haven’t figured out how to tie it onto the boat yet. 😀
