Jobs, Changes, and Anchoring

Today I want to start out with a list of jobs I plan to tackle. Each day I choose from the long list of jobs to do. Also there is always a few left over jobs from the day before to finish up. For example the tender had been leaking before Jan arrived so I waited for her to get here so we could tackle that job together. We took it across the marina to the city park where there is a launching ramp. Pulled it up the ramp, took the motor off and rolled it over. It was unglued where the rubber is attached to the fiberglas bottom. I mean all of one side. So Jan walked back to the marina to get some supplies and adhesive, plus some cold drinks, and to bring back the truck. She was getting a good intro to the heat we have been experiencing. So today that job continues....especially the drying of the glue. I need to Brasso the faucets in both heads. I have some window caulk I need to replace, and finslly I want to shine all of the ising glas or the plastics as some refer to them...ck spelling. THE big change that has upset Jan is the storms coming to the Gulf area have caused the postponement of the concert we had tickets for ...and we are not available for the new date............ I wanted to point out some of the items to beconsidered when anchoring out. We have done very little of it so I am not ready to talk about technique quite yet. We will get to that later this summer for we plan to try it a few times. Although most people say it is just as cheap to stay at a marina as it is to run your generator all night keeping your food cold and your a/c running. Things to consider would include: the type anchor you have, whether you have one or two anchors, what the bottom is, the distance of swing your boat wii incur, the direction of the wind, the direction of the current, and the amount of traffic to go by during the night ....especially tows. Once agagain I thank you for tuning in Tom
