Yesterday we did not seem to manage to get much accomplished. I spent more time in the morning searching for solar panels and contacted a couple of places for quotes. I did learn that the largest panels I can get are 130 watts or I would need a "special" charge controller. By special I mean over $500 dollars! In talking with some fellow Canadians from Muskoka Moon, they recommended a place in Miami and it turns out they have been the cheapest place we have found. We did go shopping in the afternoon for assorted stuff and I picked up my new chartplotter at West Marine. We also fixed our sliding companionway door. It is a bi-folding plexi-glass door and the part where it slides in the track was worn out and missing. We bought a 40 cent piece of hose at the hardware store and cut it into the right size and it is working great. I wish all of our repairs were that easy.
We also have the welder guy coming over this morning to help design an arch to mount the solar panels and radar dome. Tomorrow, Lester is going to come over and will guide me through the installation of the chartplotter, radar dome, new batteries and wifi antenna.

We washed the one side of the boat yesterday and will do the other side once the boat is turned. The wind was blowing like stink all day yesterday and is still blowing hard. Hopefully it dies down soon and we can turn the boat around. We may even try putting our new name on the boat. There is supposed to be a ceremony when you change the name of boat, but we are not sure what it is. If anybody know what it is, let us know.
