S/V Free Spirit T-ShirtNext Level 3600 | Premium Ring-Spun Cotton T-Shirt
$26.99 Hum... what will this month bring us project wise and how close to making the needle move for us to be able to leave???
We installed an outlet in the cockpit so it makes it easier to grill and use that outlet to charge electronics when out there. That was a nice surprise for sure!
We got the shore power switch for the generator installed so now we can just click the dial and between shore power and generator use to turn it on. And we actually got the generator started and fully functioning, yeah-rah!
We had an amazing 4th of July! There was ton of food and plenty of time spent with Friends. We are so grateful for this life and the people we are around. I made some delicious corn bread for the feast and some blueberry cobbler which I was told was not to be shared! It was gone with just the immediate and super close friends. We ate until we were stuff and then sat outside with cocktails in hand and watched the fireworks show put on by the City of Clearwater. Not much else got done this weekend so it was really a weekend off for us to play and relax.
This past weekend we got so much accomplished and wow, does it feel good to start making the progress again. Andy is on a mission to get some items ticked off the list and who am I stop him? I let him take over when he's ready and will and stuff gets done. We were left alone to our own devices this weekend (no kids/no dogs) so we can focus on getting stuff done.
We got sponsored with Kemimoto Fenders! What a game changer with these new dinghy fenders! We did a review of them and hope to do another follow up video soon once we have had some more use out of them but so far and by far the best thing we have received for review. They are very well made and hold up well to the ruggedness we have at the various docks with sharp objects and things that poke out waiting to destroy your dinghy. We absolutely love these fenders and can't speak more highly for them. Get yourself a set, heck get 2 they are just that awesome!!
Well live is difficult this month and we don't have very many weekends this month to get work done. In fact, we will be on vacation for 9 days which wipes out 2 solid weekends. So we decided to make this month filled with fun and enjoying the boat as much as possible without the pressure of trying to get things done on a schedule.
Well the time has finally come. We learned a lot this month as Andy tackled learning how to create the new shelf and fiberglass as we prepared to have the generator installed. In an effort to be transparent we totally bombed that one on the 1st attempt. Somehow we weren't able to get the mix done correctly during the measure process so the fiberglass didn't stick. We had to go back after work one night to try again. We were pleased when we went back the following day to find out that it worked. We then painted the new shelf with Total Boat, Bilge paint and applied 2 coats.
