Well tomorrow we move the boat up the river to Hazard Marine in Georgetown, to have all the thru hulls & seacocks replaced. It's only a 10-15minute ride but it will be the first time we have moved since we bought her. We are taking her straight into the travel lift, so no tricky dock manovers. They say it will take about 2 hours per thruhull allowing for ony backing plates that may have to be redone, & then Jennifer & I will replace a few of the hoses. We finnished installing the anchor windlass & foot switches & the remote switches at the helm, it did not work at first, but with Bill's help (s/v Blue Moon) we tracked it down to a dead battery, all the reading were giving us 13+volts, that should have been the clue, turned out what we were seeing at the windlass & switches was the battery charger!!!!!!!!!. Today I tried starting the generator!!!! Well I had been warned it did not work & should be scraped, smoke came pouring out of the engine room, smelt like burning wire. Anyway we are safe no fire just opened everthing up & ran the fans. Will check how much the yard will charge to remove it as they have the crane equipment, to reach in through the door & lift it out. If we need a generator we do have our trusty Honda generator. We hope to be on our way up north to Dowery Creek by Friday or Sturday, it will be fun to be on the water again
