Hose Her .... She Likes it Stiff Ep208
Spring is here and thus so is spring cleaning. Isabella is covered in pollen causing Karen to begin to clean the boat. Steve, assisting with the hose and the prankster, squirts her while she’s scrubbing the deck. April showers bring May flowers, but that water was cold. As a gesture, Steve finished the boat cleaning.
We raise the mizzen sail in dock. Using the trusty WinchRite makes it so much easier; every winch becomes an electric winch. A little dirty and still looking good plus when lowered into the MacPac (sail cover) the sail flaked (folded and stored) perfectly.
Isabella has several separate bilge areas, one of which is located in the main cabin area and is hard to reach. Using the Ryobi jigsaw and a scroll blade Steve cut a hole in the floor to install a new access panel. It made reaching that bilge a lot easier. Since the panel is installed under a piece of carpet it isn’t even visible.
The weather was wonderful this week and we spent some time on deck enjoying the warm spring breezes. Karen waited in vain for pelicans to fly by, maybe next time. We are so happy that the extended forecast shows mild days because, bad news, our Dometic reverse cycle unit isn’t worth repairing.
The report from the authorized service dealer indicates the unit's reversing valve is stuck, the control panel needs to be replaced, the compressor is not predicted to last long, etc., etc., etc. Thus, a new unit will be ordered and it will take several days for it to arrive. We decided to buy the same Dometic 16,000 BTU unit due to the size constraints of the area where it will reside.
Y’all you know we love to dance. This time we tried some synchronized steps. It’s a little difficult balancing on a boat so some dance moves are a little shakier than others. And yes, we need a bit more practice.
