And--cue the drumroll--we have power to the freezer!

In early October, we bought a marine-grade freezer at the Annapolis Boat Show.  It's a sizable beast, but we're happy to have it for freezing all the fish that David's going to pull in when we finally set sail ;)  The freezer, combined with the vacuum-sealer, should be a great addition to our new lifestyle.  David spent the better part of today in the cockpit lazarette getting power to The Beast.  It also serves as an extra refrigerator which comes in handy while we're sitting at the marina waiting for the finishing touches to the AIS and SSB (think cold beer....).

Anyway, I digress.  Big accomplishment today: power to the freezer!  This is where David spent most of his day:

Here are all the supporting materials for his caper:

Bits and pieces of wire and plastic

I spent a couple hours doing laundry (ie, knitting while waiting for the laundry) and making a curtain for the hatch in the v berth.  Not very exciting, and definitely not mechanical(!), but useful.  So, when you come visit and sleep in the v berth, the sun won't blind you in the morning :)

Our table becomes a big work space with the protective cover.

Since we can't set sail yet (wires still protruding from the binnacle), it's not bad to sit at the marina on a windless day.  When it's a perfectly windy day, it's a tad frustrating to sit here and see sailboats zipping across the Bay.

The flag was not blowing in the wind today.
