Boat repairs are something you just Gatta' Love. Like the wife likes making the house wonderful in her own way the guy (me) gets to play with the engineering of the boat.
Lately we did a new antenna on the tall pike that was part of the old main antenna. So I have a new high end and powerful antenna on top of the 18 foot long pike. Way up there for better range. Used it while on the last trip to talk to a boat in MDR from the west end of Catalina. Very long ways away. No matter what radio you have you must have a good radio antenna to get the most out of it. (so says some of my boat savvy friends)
And lately to get rid of a pesky toilet oder problem I have been down in the hole. And while there I redid the fwd bilge pump out hose. The old hard (but very light) hose was weeping and when under way and getting water up there it was letting water in. Not Acceptable to me. New tough hose. Heat gun and large amount of personal Umph and now I'm happy. And my family is safer.
More to do. With luck it will not end soon. You know what happens when you are done fixing your boat. You Sell It. I hope not to be "done" for a long time.
Trish has a party and music inthe park potluck event set up. so I gotta' finish up and get extra fishing gear off the boat. The group of ladies and guests on Saturday will be a fun and interesting mix. Looking forward to it. It may render a nice set of photos too.
We are lucky to have music options at MDR's Burton Chase Park and at the Santa Monica Pier.
My fish wish is for a good spot to dock for the show Saturday.
