ARRGH....The Pirate Curtains Are Done!

Dave and I worked on cutting out the curtains last night and I was able to sew them all together  this morning.  We headed down in the blustery wind storm and got them all hung up today!  Now we need to figure out what we're doing with the wheelhouse and bunk windows.

Got water?

We finally got the water running again after Dave rebuilt the water pump; luckily it was a pretty minor fix!  We now know that there is heat tape for the water lines and that they definitely need to be plugged in as soon as it starts getting cold out!  We're learning a lot about owning a larger boat that is moored in the harbor as opposed to the small ones we have in the yard at home! 

Now that the water is running again, the head is usable, there is hot water and I'm able to wash dishes down at the boat instead of taking them home.   Our next big milestone will be our first overnighter on the boat next week if I get the curtains done in time.

February 17 Pics Of The Frozen Harbor

Daytime pics of the frozen harbor

Baby it's Cold Outside

View from the stern of the SHAD... Lights reflecting off the ice in the harbor. The temps in Juneau have been well below freezing and with the windchill downtown the temps have been below zero. The walk to and from the boat tonight was brutal!

 

Cabin Fever!

What do you do when you can't take the boat out?  You stay at home and plan where you will go when you can take the boat out.  Have I mentioned that we've got CABIN FEVER?!!

My "big" Christmas present to Dave this year was Nobletec Navigation Software for the boat.  He was finally able to get the software loaded up and has been charting out trips all over Southeast Alaska from the comfort of the family room.  I now know how many hours it will take us to get to most of the communities in SE.....again, have I mentioned the CABIN FEVER?  We're counting down the months until we're able to get out on the water, that's for sure!
