Default Staying Cool and Dry!

Air conditioning...a MUST!


Well, allow me to qualify that....it's expensive and I doubt I would
have had it installed on Heart of Gold from scratch. But yesterday...on
a fairly cool day, it rained and rained. I was on board with Suzanne
working on a few things. The interior was pretty humid after all this
rain and it was pouring solidly. The two cabin fans were not cutting
it. I set the A/C on a low setting....WOW....a nice dry cool cabin in a
few minutes. I'm swapped out the stereo and Suzanne worked on cleaning
up the aft and forward cabins...what a relief to be able to work inside
comfortably.
Obviously a hot day is a more typical application and the heat also
worked great at night. Sorry....if you live in areas that can get
really hot, A/C is a nice thing to have. I've set the A/C system to
never let the cabin get above 85 degrees while we're away from the
boat. When aboard dockside we'll crank it up! Sweet!

Well...I'm off to see Scotty!
