Reverse Polarity problem NO MORE (we hope)


Well, we finally think we have solved the reverse polarity problem. We bought a new cord to plug the boat into the shore AC power and tested all of our boat outlets. Seems like it fixed it. The light was still illuminated so Diron talked to a marina electrician who will come out this week to replace the LED light. He spoke with him and said that from the details it sounds like it has been fixed now. Yay!! We stayed in a hotel for a night but are back now. We found out this morning that we will be moving to a marina in downtown New Bern for the next three months of winter. It is a nice marina (Grand Marina) at a Hilton Hotel, and we get all of the hotel amenities with our dock/slip fee! (gym, showers, pool, restaurants, etc). I saw the guy who has the sailboat next to us this morning and he said he lived at that marina for 3 years and that we are going to love it. It is also in the middle of the little downtown area. I will miss being on base but there are positives about both!! He also cruises the Caribbean alot....one day that will be US!!!

We now have pots, pans, and our boat dishware! It all came in the last couple of days so let the cooking begin! (Diron of course..ha!) The sunsets and sunrises are still just wonderful. The wind was VERY crazy last night so lots of rocking on the boat, but luckily no nausea from me!! Yay! Satchel is on his second day of daycare and will get a full time spot at the daycare here on base on Jan 4 so I should have more time to get job hunting in gear (well first getting my NC licensure!) and blog a little. Well, as I am blogging this, our AC switch went off and I cant figure out why? Here we go!.....

  1. That is great that the reverse polarity is fixed. It sounds like it was a pain in the butt to say the least.
