Naw....I'm aboard someone else's boat, he's buying beer and a few
thousand gallons of diesel and taking me on a trip. I can put up with
Charlie's cat attacks....(c;

I miss that boat. There was plenty of electrical and mechanical things
to make weekends a lot of fun. I caused some distress, once in a while,
like when I came up from the bilge declaring we needed THREE banks of
expensive 8V odd batteries for the 32V train electrics "down here". I'd
hate to think I was partially why they sold her. Hell, I had just about
all the systems running smoothly by then....twin water pumps, twin diesel
gensets, 5 water-cooled air conditioners, helm and flybridge electronics
and electrical systems, TV cable system, even the Cuisinart food
processor built into the galley counter top...all worked. Fixed the
electronic controls to the Naiad hydraulic roll control system, too.
That was great to have. But, God what a constant expense to keep it all
running, even with the free labor....
