July 6-8, 2001 -- Untitled Today was the day that we started working on our DC electrical panel again. While Mike prepped the area where the new breaker panel would be placed, I spent the morning disassembling and assembling a new 8 breaker panel. We added breaker on indicator lights as well as back lighting to the new breaker panels. This process isn't as easy as it may sound! Mike had to remove the old 12 volt gauges, and widen the cut out from where the old breakers were. Then he labeled wires and removed the new three breaker panel we had installed temporarily. I pulled out the breakers we ordered and plugged in properly sized breakers for our needs. We worked on this most of the day! However, when we finished, we had two 8 breaker panels with backlighting and indicator lights; they look really cool! We had an early dinner, then headed in to the marina for happy hour and to listen to the steel band play. On July 7, we spent a lazy day aboard the boat. On July 8, we did boat chores again. While I checked battery water, Mike worked on laundry. We spent the rest of the day not working since we were headed over to Masade for dinner. Sue fixed Thai Prawns for us. We had a great evening of food, fun, talk and Skipbo!
