Well as we reach the final days of preparations, the Captain and I have been hard at work trying to get things finalized. Dave was up on the mast again to install the radar reflector. While up there he got some great views of the marina. While the photos give a great reflection of all the boats and work going on around us they certainly don't do justice to the beautiful terrain.
I am very greatful that my freezer is now functional again. The Captain had disabled the evaporator and drilled holes into the freezer walls in an effort to add more insulation and stop the condensation on the countertop and behind the salon cushions. We don't know if the fix will solve 100% of the problem but, without a doubt, the freezer has substantially more insulation now than before.
When not working we've become social beings. We've made lots of friends here. Each of which has a rich history of how they got into sailing and there adventures thus far. Yesterday we hosted our very first "impromptu' happy hour. (Not to be mistaken with our first happy hour.) "Impromptu" as right around 5:00 yesterday evening the Captain and two other yachties were standing on the dock talking their experiences. Hand a drink to each one and voila "impromptu" happy hour is born. I didn't have to twist any arms either! It is quite fun.
