More Decisions...

16 February 2010 | Ray here
Springs on the way...Yeeehaaa!

For us that means we get to start tackling outside projects and finally get a breath of fresh air!

Well once again we changed our minds about changing out our large fuel tank and have chosen to go with the installed 100 gallon tank. We chose this due to timing and cost. In order to change out the old second 200 gallon tank we have to completely rip up the flooring in the boat...something we're not prepared or willing to do at this time...and besides we were quoted over $1500 to repair our old tank...way too much considering we can almost have a new tank made for that! We have the original tank (installed) and will get it changed out...but will probably wait to do it in Mexico where labor is a little cheaper.

Okay so onward with projects and repairs...just ran the generator and got it up running smoothly at 125 volts (5 extra for when it under load)...also rebuilding both heads and putting in new flushing kits...hooking up water maker and starting on mast work (wiring etc). Next month we are installing our Monitor windvane and should be ready to go.

For now it's head' down and move forward.
