We have a source of heat, hooray!!! The propane heater is installed and working. It seems to give off enough heat to heat up the cabin. It has a window in it so that you can watch the fire flickering, which Barry says adds to the ambiance. We were out sailing yesterday with my brother and my feet got cold so I went downstairs and warmed them up by the heater that was pure luxury. The guy hasn’t finished the installation on the deck yet. The hole from the diesel pipes was too big so he has to build a phalange that will fit the hole and the pipe.

While the fellow was here installing the furnace, Barry fixed the salt water pump. We have two foot pumps in the galley one fresh and one salt. The salt water pump developed a leak in early September; Barry bought a new pump but thought he would have to get a new bottom plate to attach it to the boat because the new pump was a different size than the old one. When he looked at it he figured he would just have to drill a few new holes in the old plate in order to get it attached, so he drilled a few new holes and now the salt water pump is once again a working part of the boat, yahoo!!

On Monday the guy is supposed to come and install the amp that they blew when they were putting in the motor. On Tuesday the phalange is supposed to ready for the pipes for the propane furnace.
