Default Heart of Gold and the Genset

What would you expect from someone who doesn't even put a
PFD on a toddler?

So now you have to carry gasoline aboard and find

somewhere to stow the can.
A totally unnecessary extra fire hazard.

Looks like we'll be getting a genset afterall. A Cruiser

32, which was
storm damaged has been bought by my yard after settling

with the
insurance. Tiny little Kholer (Sp?) 4K genset will be a

gift from the
yard along with an installation. She's all prewired for

it and the
platform is ready and waiting. I have mixed feelings

about it. It
weighs more than a box of feathers and we have yet to

establish that
it's something we really need at anchor. In the slip,

hanging out or
working, the a/c is a no brainer luxury. Still, I had to

say yes or no
and I imagine this can only bring up the value of the

boat with no cost
to me. According to the guy who's putting it in along

with a hush box,
we'll barely hear it and no one anchored nearby will. I

think he's
right since I can barely hear the genset of the Cruiser

34 that's not
far from us. It's amazingly small and quiet.
So...good news for our Heart of Gold!
