Getting there

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

I’m finally getting there with the battery holder.  I’ve got well-varnished (to protect from water damage) boards firmly attached in the locker with West Marine battery do-hickeys firmly attached to the boards and the batteries firmly attached to the do-hickeys.  Now, I can switch back and forth between batteries without moving them around – much safer and easier.  Major sense of accomplishment.

I’ve removed more boards for varnishing.  Its still raining though, so who knows when I’ll get to do it.

The boat across the way – still sinking.  Slowly.

I’m going to start showing this picture and telling people it’s my boat.  It isn’t.  It’s a close up of a boat I pass on the way to mine.   I thought the boat couldn’t get any worse last summer when it was simply covered in green mold.  Now its sprouting.   I’m a little surprised the plant doesn’t have 5 leaves in a circular pattern.

If it doesn’t stop raining soon, this boat will be the first step on the way to Waterworld- growing plants on boats.

The rain is starting to drive me mad.  I WANT TO GO SAILING.
