Water maker, Cutlass Bearing and Prop, Liferaft

Wade takes the first sip of water he made with the EcH2O Tec Water maker that he installed.

Meanwhile.....in Annapolis...we are hauled out at Jabin's Shipyard to file the prop and put in a new cutlass bearing to stop the prop from "singing".

we can't stay on the boat since it is in the sling overnight sooo....we stay in an awesome B&B called the Academy Bed and Breakfast (just behind the Naval Academy in the Harbor).  After a nice long bath I get to catch up on the computer and our blog!

We missed the Sailboat show by a week but we made the PowerBoat Show.  Wade, of course, did his homework asking questions, googling, analyzing and deliberating all 3 days and, of course, made the best purchase.  We decided on a 6 person Viking Liferaft made in Denmark packed in a valise that we can store on the top of our cockpit locker next to our ditch bag that contains the EPIRB.  It really is feeling great to be getting our off-shore equipment together and working...it's a relief and let's you breathe easy!
