Day 324 Preparation.

We spent today making preparations to install the new refrigerator system.  We hauled everything out of the box just to make sure the new system will fit with room for the new separator that will divide the box into a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment.  It's going to be a bit snug to get everything in but it should work.  Not quite sure how we will install a shelf in the freezer area.  That is going to be a challenge.  We had to get some wires and fasteners to make sure it goes smoothly.  I called the manufacturer just to make sure we had the right wares size to run from the battery to the compressor unit.  I didn't want it to small to make it hard to run.  We have a big cooler to store all the food in as I expect it is going to take a day or so to get this project done.  I guess we will see.

We stopped in at Port Townsend Rigging to discuss picking up our new pole.  We figure we'll be getting it some time next week.

We should hear today whether or not Great Lakes Marine is going to acknowledge that the transmission is bad and that they will pick up the labor fees that are adding up getting it out let alone what it is going to charge to get it back in.  Depending on their decision, we will have some decisions to make ourselves.  But more on that at a later date.

We had some company last night.  Jenny, another live a board that has been on the yard with her husband/companion since just before we got here--refitting another boat to take cruising, stopped in and we talked for several hours about what we have been doing since we got here.  It was nice having someone to talk with.  We don't get many visitors. 

We're just taking each day as it comes bidding our time till we can get out of here.  It can't come too soon.

Have a great day everyone.
