Up at 6 am, breakfast, bible reading and showers. Then gather the laundry and get up to the parking lot where the laundry lady picks up at 9 am. Then we did some repair work on the insulation in the engine room. It is all metal foil over foam with tape to keep it in place. The foam is glued in place, but needs a little help occasionally.
Then I took a look at the battery charger that is supposed to charge the engine start battery. I found that it has two fuses that were both blown, I was headed to the parts store for new ones, but asked our neighbor if he had any, which he did. Score! It works! I have been dealing with this for quite a while.
Reneé, Julie and I toured the power cat on the side tie at the end of the dock. This is MV Doublewide with Bill Fleenor on board. The boat is huge, there are only two cabins but both have walk around queen size beds, it is very large with a regular household kitchen style refrigerator etc,
Then Reneé went to the store. Afterwards we had lunch and looked for things to do.
I updated the blog, I had attempted to do that a few days ago and could not update the pictures, turned out it was due to an update on their end. Kyle (our son) helped identify what the issue was for us and got around our problem. So, I was able to update it.
I checked engine hours since the last oil change and of course it is time to change the oil in the engine. It is supposed to be done every 250 hours, and we are at 246). Of course we had the issue where we lost 3 quarts of oil and had the oil leak, but the next thing we are going to do is run across to San Carlos and that will be at least 12 hours across. So, probably ought to just do it.
