Last night when we returned after a very pleasant evening sail, we discovered that our starboard running light was out. This is not just a new bulb, but I had replaced the entire fixture last season. Opened it up, and the filiment looked intact. VOM says I had about 13 volts on the contacts. I'm still doubting the bulb could be bad, so I took the bulb and a clip lead directly at the battery, and it was absolutely N.F.G. with maybe 30 hours on it. This is one of those "festoon" bulbs that looks like a glass fuse. We were down in Norwalk this morning to visit my mother, so I figured I'd swing by Cove Marina to check out their new Rex Marine Store. Bought a few bulbs, so I'd have spares, and as we got back in the car, I realized Dave might be working on his boat. I thought it would be nice to say hello, and introduce him to my wife. Took about 30 seconds to find his very distinctive boat, but no Dave. This was about 10:30 in the morning. The boat looks about ready to go, and I guess he is hoping to get it in very soon. I do have a question though... I had never noticed the stern of the boat before. Dave, did you rename the boat when you got it? The stern lettering is a very different style than the name on the topsides. It's even a different color. I just hadn't noticed it previously. Looks too feminine to be something you picked out! LOL The navy blue tumble home with the white Times-Roman lettering works for me! CWM Stalker alert! Joe |
