It's been a week since our last post, and we've been busy. We did get our MMSI number for our VHF, and got it linked up with our GPS; what that means is, if we get in trouble, we hit one button on the radio and it sends out our exact location and our type of vessel. Kind of like Onstar for sailors!
The major project for the week was cutting holes in our fuel tank. We had to siphon out the last 10 gallons of fuel, then clean the tank. While we were cleaning, Karin held up a wire brush and asked if it was mine? Well, no....... turns out, we found two wire brushes, and two hole saw cut outs in the tank! The last part of the project was installing the inspection plates, and refilling the tank. Our fuel has been filtered, treated, and the tank is clean. Peace of mind; priceless! Today we'll get started on the new alternator/ voltage regulator....progress!
Yay for On Star for sailors!
