More connections being made today in the battery compartment of Andiamo.

After a nice morning run downtown, an attempt to go easter egg hunting, and a wonderful lunch hot off the grill, we got back to work. Tami and the kids worked on organizing and stowing of the galley and salon while I buried myself in the bilge and battery compartment. We are finally making progress. The engine starts, the alternator charges, the windlass works, and everyone is happy. Just so you know, none of those things were even possible earlier today. Once again, I had to spend most of my time cleaning up lazy workmanship in the bilge and anchor locker. It's not perfect by any means, but it is better now than the way we found it. Next week, its solar panels and wind generators!

We are a family of four from Olympia, WA living on our sailboat. Currently in Banderas Bay, Mexico waiting out hurricane season. Who knows where we will end up? We are taking an enormous risk, both physically and financially. [...]
Extra: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” –Mark Twain
