Slow Dancing leaving Holiday Hills

Nov 4. 2012

Still at the dock at Holiday Hills, we are at the mercy of Chuck, from Casio Rio Marine, who is repairing our 8hp dinghy outboard engine and is having problems getting parts. The other service provider we were waiting on, Chris Ford, came thru 2 days ago with a new Dodger. The dodger is a canvas cover that protects us from the cold and weather, it is in the front of the cockpit and has clear vinyl panels to see thru. Good job Chris. Yesterday I finally got the chartplotter/GPS hooked up and working. Now this may seem like a small project, and I thought so myself, but there are a total of 5 cables that need to be run, no big deal right, however they all have to run inside a 1 inch pipe that is the pedestal for the display. It took all day but is working flawlessly. The other big project was installing davits for the dinghy, which also took most of today, but that one is behind me now, sweet. Last projects that we have to finish before leaving is selling my car and finish getting everything stowed away. There is a Nor’easter a brewing that might be a problem Thursday, we will continue monitoring the situation.
