I installed the water heater yesterday and it works great, at least in the galley. I was minus one 1/2'' nipple so couldn't run the hot water to the head. Tried to get Judy to loan me one, but she wasn't going for it. Sure is nice to have hot water again though. It's surprising how we tend to take things, like running hot water, for granted. That is until we suddenly don't have them.
It looks like we will be able to leave Charleston around midnight or one tonight. That is if the weather holds. It is around 60 miles to Cape Blanco and we want to go around it in the daylight. Locally they call our next sail around the Capes "the horn of the pacific"
Shure hope the weather holds. We don't much care for this marina, although the sun has been out every day. The transient dock is open to the public for crabbing. Yuck, what a nasty dock. The public doesn't seem to care much about cleaning up after themselves, or their animals. If you get what I mean.
Our next intended stop is Crescent City, or Humbolt. Depending on sea conditions.

We didn't much care for the transient dock at Charleston either. We had to move down to the side-tie dock after you guys visited. Apparently the security guy had put us in someone's slip. Same complaints: no privacy and a very messy public. Weren't crazy about our little boat being tucked in between gigantic steel fishing boats either. Fortunately, when we had to go back inland for most of August, they put us in a regular slip on D dock. Much nicer.
ReplyDeleteGood luck going around the Capes. Only 2 more "Cape Horns of the Pacific" to go after that (Mendocino and Conception). We got our engine-starting problems sorted out and are now watching the weather before we head out to tackle the last of the Cape Horns of the Pacific.
Getting chilly down here. Time to get moving soon.
