The weather the past several days has been cool and either raining or with some kind of moisture in the air. But this evening, the sun came out with crystal clear blue skies, and we had a beautiful sunset with the reds lighting up clouds building over the lake and south of us. The first […]
Back in March we wrote about adding the Solar Panels to the boat. How are they working you might ask? Great!!! While Changes was still on her cradle, Phil had them installed and connected to the Blue Sky Controller and the golf cart batteries. It was in no time the refrigerator was turned on with […]

March 15, 2013 Today in 15 knot winds from the West in 34F weather, Phil took off the cover. I would like to say that WE took off the cover, but nice guy that he is, I stayed in the car with the engine on and heater running not coming out until it was time […]
