Staying here in Grenada we have a number of boat jobs on the go when we are not out\u00a0enjoying Grenada. Some we can do ourselves and some we need help from the experts. So after talking to the experts, waiting for quotes, parts\u00a0and work to start we can start some of our own jobs.<\/p>\n

We have had\u00a0trouble with\u00a0water getting into one of our engine compartments and causing some problems with our alternators\u00a0so Brett removed the old rubber and glue and replaced\u00a0it for a better fit. He also put extra latches on the cover to ensure its down tight. Now no light can be seen from the inside so, hopefully, no water when under way with following seas.<\/p>\n

\"P1020637a\"<\/a>Our fridge and freezer are built into a cabinet. There were a couple of very small vents to allow the hot air out but upon touching the counter or back of the cabinet it was very hot. We have therefore increased the size of the two\u00a0vents and put an additional two vents in for added air movement.\u00a0\u00a0\"P1020853a\"<\/a>\"P1020854a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our biggest project this past week has been\u00a0installing our new wind generator.\u00a0 Goal is\u00a0to supplement the solar panels\u00a0so we will not need to run the engines\u00a0much to generate DC electricity. This was not the easiest install but its working and is nice and quiet. \"P1020863a\"<\/a>\"P1020865a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t worry Brett is not slaving all the time. He does get time to lay back and play on the internet, online shop etc. Note the concentration on his i-pad. Yes he has become a big online shopper….I am getting worried. When we are back in Calgary we will have a pile of things to collect. \u00a0\"P1020780a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I on the other hand have been cleaning our hulls so they don’t grow things, cleaning our trampoline to get rid of dirt and buildup and cleaning the inside of the boat to entertain our friends, so she is spotless of hair and dirt. Note the theme… cleaning. Hmmmm!\u00a0As Jen from Our Rose said its a constant thing on a boat and oh yes it is.<\/p>\n

I did get a chance to get away\u00a0yesterday\u00a0for Grenada cooking classes at the Dodgey Dock and it was a goodie. Mangoe, Papaya and Cantaloupe salsa (yum), Bread fruit pie (Ok but not my favorite) and Pan seared seasoned Fish with gravy, a delicious tomato based spicy sauce. Per Ester color is the name of the game and all the dishes were nice and colourful.<\/p>\n

We have a busy weekend planned. The annual fishermans birthday and the Victoria Food Fest Saturday night\u00a0which is a huge party on the streets\u00a0and lots of cruisers are joining the locals to lime (Lime – you look it up!). Then Sunday we are going to the Naniki Caribbean Jazz Safari. Should all be fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
