FROM 737 COCKPIT TO BOAT LIFE! ✈️ New Freezer, DIY Solar Bilge, Tropical Storms & Helping Strays
This week on Noeta, we are taking you along for a little bit of everything that makes our liveaboard life so unique!

Community Volunteer Work: Alexa spends the day volunteering at a local free spay and neuter clinic.
Major Upgrades: Receiving and installing our brand-new freezer on board, plus showing off our custom-made window screens.
AC Strainer Upgrade: Cleaning out our air conditioning strainer and showing how incredible the water flow is now that it’s relocated off the main sea chest!
Dockside DIY: Teaming up with a harbor neighbor to build a custom solar-powered bilge pump for his dinghy.
