Wow, over a year since our last post!!
Hello out there in blog world….how’s everybody doing?
We are great here!! We’ve been busy working on Paperbird….trying to get this adventure started!! And we are almost ready!!
Over the winter we did a complete over haul of the engine room…cleaned the bilges, put in new bulge pumps…had new gelcoat put on the bed of the engine room….covered the walls with new insulation….moved and installed new filters ….and Greg got a shiny new engine for Christmas!!
After the snow melted and spring arrived….it’s just wrong to shovel snow off the deck of a boat!!…..we continued the work by installing electronics and making an awning for shade.
Next we put up an alternate back stay antennae for an HF radio….yes, another trip up the mast…for GREG!!….and installed solar panels….YES, off the grid!!
We have friends from Church that we’re sure think we’ve lost our minds…..some came down to see for themselves what we are always yakking about.
.
We are almost ready to head south and see what “cruising” really is all about….Stay tuned for post from exotic or not so exotic ports!!
