September Visit - Whoo Hoo! A New Loo!!!

We normally always head south once or twice during the summer for a 'boat check'.  Watching the weather closely, we decided to head down to babysit the Arc in the event that Tropical Storm Erica actually made it to Florida.  As it turned out, she fizzled out before getting close so we took advantage of the trip to take a car load of equipment down and complete a couple projects as well.




The amaizorolla (the Corolla) does it again!  The Captain loaded it completely inside and on top with equipment, supplies and tools and the aging Toyota ran like a champ.

The weather in south Florida at this time of year was unbearably hot forcing us to focus on projects below deck.  The central air conditioning system we installed last season works great and we were very comfortable while below.

We went on a shopping trip to Camping World in search of a new loo.  The ball seal had blown out at some point in time during the last season so this is the first project needing to be completed.  At the same time, the Captain replaced the water pump giving us maximum water pressure. We're in business now.  A new crapper AND plenty of water pressure to move things along!  Woo Hoo!  Pure luxury on a boat.



To be honest, I seriously expected to have another tale to add to our "Adventures in Marine Sanitation" chronicles but fortunately for the Captain, the installation went smoothly.  I had settled myself safely out of the way for the barrage of verbal abuse that would most undoubtedly be directed toward the project but it never happened.  Nice!


This would be the perfect time to refresh the paint behind the toilet but we didn't have the paint on hand and our time for this project was running short.  Not to worry, we have another project planned in the near future that will necessitate moving the toilet out of the way so we'll paint it at that time.


That's what I'm talking about!


Camping World had their doggie life jackets on sale so Radar is ready for the next season to begin.  Poor guy, he thought that we were going cruising since I put his life jacket on.  He was disappointed when we only went over to the fuel dock for a potty dump.  Sorry Radar.....soon buddy, soon.


We finished these project just in time for a visit from the Crew of Blue!  See next post.......
