sv Andiamo III

Well, here we go. Our first blog. Our new friends from SV Third Day convinced us that SailBlogs was the way to go, so here we are.

Weather: windy, rainy, and overall pretty crummy
Boat projects are well underway. I am currently shoulder-deep in our battery compartment making some new connections, installing fuses, and prepping for the installation of a new electrical panel. I am also repairing some sub-standard workmanship. Doesn't everyone have to turn on their windlass switch in order to use their VHF radio? The solar panels are sitting in their cardboard boxes on the weather deck patiently waiting to be installed. The wind generator, which arrived yesterday, is sitting in the salon still in its box as well. It all seems a bit overwhelming sometimes.

It's Good Friday and I have the day off work. The kids are at school and Tami is grocery shopping and doing laundry. The boat is a mess, so I'd better tidy up before she gets home.
