July 19-23, 2001 -- Work and Play

Today, our principle focus was to stay around the boat. The carpenter was coming out to finish mounting the hatch screens. This translated to not wanting to start any major projects, or get involved in anything that would take too long since we needed to pick him up! He arrived midmorning, and by evening, everything was screened! On July 20, the guy from Enza Marine came out to install our new directional ball valves that he had ordered from when we discovered the leaks in the raw water cooling system for the air conditioning. The carpenter also came out to apply varnish and verify that the port light screens all fit that he made for us. During the evening, we went up to the bar to listen to the steel band. On July 21 and 22, we worked our butts off! The new DC freezer compressor and evaporator plates should be in sometime next week, so we needed to get ready for that. This entailed emptying 4 lockers and running the electrical wires. On July 23, since the carpenter was supposed to be back, we didn't do a lot. The carpenter came out, put on the varnish and then we dropped him off back at the dock. Micki from Beaujolais called about 7:30 or so and came over to visit. It was a good evening
