WEDNESDAY – Awakening to a gorgeous sun and brisk wind, it took awhile to reorient and get into boat mode. Most of the day we unpacked and organized. A Christmas present, the SodaStream soda-maker is a huge hit. Mike makes his own style fizzy beverage aboard. Much less sugar, cheaper, no lugging heavy cans or bottles onto the boat and NO TRASH.
I found a few pecan nuts from nearby trees on the deck, where birds were cracking and eating. Otherwise the boat was clean. It's pleasantly balmy but a cold front is coming.
THURSDAY – We tackled the clothes dryer's failure-to-heat issue today. Removing it from it's cabinetry, Mike was alarmed at the poorly run vent installation. A terrific local repairman confirmed that a hidden overheat switch had tripped because the hot air flow was restricted. Hurrah! The only damage was a $75 service call; no parts needed, no waiting! All's okay!
FRIDAY - Mike rerouted the dryer vent. It wasn't easy, squirming through a floor-level kitchen drawer; it's his very special style of all-day Yoga! But, the hot moist air now has an easy flow. Sure enough it got cold and the wind is whistling, gusting to 35mph. I cut Louis's walk short because I was freezing. Tonight we'll eat out with our neat friends Linda and Steve. They were very attentive to Sea Dream during our absence, helping us relax, knowing she was in good hands.
