Home Boat Home

Satchel all nice and cozy after back to sleeping in his V-berth!

The major bed-head after he woke up this morning....ha!


Finally! We have our house back in living order. The dude came the other night to fix the water leak we had by the water accumulator tank. The pressure kept coming on and we would go through a tank of water in a day if we left the water pressure on, so we were always having to flip it on and off at the navigation station (pain!). He put in a couple new little parts and now it works like a charm! Good thing since they turned the water off at the marina a few days ago (bc of freezing weather) and it will remain off until next week! Yikes...fingers crossed we last with the less than half a tank we have until then!
I kept telling Diron that something was wrong with the heater. We were freezing our butts off the first few days after getting her back to the slip. Well, after talking to a couple of dock neighbors (thanks Bill & Clyde!), we realized we would need to prime our water pump since the boat had been out of the water several weeks. After doing that, now the heater is also working great!
I put a few more Christmas decorations up (snowflakes hanging from the ceiling in the cabin, poinsettias down the pole in the cabin, and glittery garland across the cabin. A few little ornaments hanging here and there and we are ready!)
The boat finally looks like home again since I got all the crap put away, we changed out our springy clothes into winter ones and put those away, and cleaned inside the boat. Now we're back to cozy (but still small...ha!). Just in time for Christmas!
