5/7/12 it was time to find a new bow rail at minney’s yacht surplus. i love this place. its like a cross between a thrift store and a junk yard for boaters. everything is super cheap and you have to dig deep to find what youre looking for. we get more than half our gear […]
So here’s the old tiller. The one i learned to sail on. Kind of hard to let it go but it’s split lengthwise, really loose, gives a lot of play, has splinters, and pretty much just falling apart. I really like the black twine rap on the handle. i’m not sure if taylor did this […]
4/22/12 so after that haul out ive been in project mode. good motivation. and finding that drip of the bilge from the keel made my next project the bilge pump. i bought this bad boy about a month ago on sale. RULE 750 Gallon Per Hour automatic pump. i needed some help so i called […]
4/9/12 – 4/11/12 heavily drank all night easter night after an extremely busy day cooking easter brunch. woke up at 7am before the hang over even kicked in. prepped and cleaned the boat and dock area (mostly just picking up beer cans and whatever else a drunk may leave lying around) made it to the […]

3/21/12so with those new AGMs in the cabin. i needed a new AGM for the outboard starter. you shouldnt run acid and AGM on the same system. i got another steal at west marine on a brand new deep cycle AGM for $160. long scary story short. i hooked up the 3rd battery. started the […]
Electrical work scares me. Instant unknown death. When I bought this ship it had 3 deep cycle marine batteries, similar to the battery in your car. 2 to power the cabin and 1 to start the outboard motor. *sidenote: i’m sick of capitalizing words, please deal with my grammar. these 3 batteries were shot. they […]
First Post! Well, sense the boat was purchased well over a year ago and this blog was created today; there is definitely a great deal of information missing…oh well. I’ll update you on the past if need be. I’ll start off by posting a few of our accomplished upgrades from previous months. Thank you for […]
