Ross Bids Us Adieu...

 

Because there is no such thing as too many picture of one's boat...   And it was a beautiful sunset.

Today, Ross had to return home.   He has his last semester at the University to complete and that is way more important than hanging out with his parental units.   In December he should graduate with his BS in Environmental Sciences and GIS from the University of South Florida.

I miss him already.   And it is great to have the boat all to ourselves again.

Today's excitement centered around defrosting our refrigerator and doing loads of laundry.  Can you believe Ross left before all this excitement?

The kid leaves town and it's party central!   Woo Hoo!

Once the defrosting was complete, we made a bunch of leftovers for dinner and then went for a walk around Granville Island.   This photo was snapped at about 2000 hrs (8:00pm).

Vancouver is blessed with some stunning sunsets in the early Fall.   Today was no exception.

Tomorrow, we are staying here.   We have more exciting chores in store including washing the salt off the boat and doing a bit of shopping (we need eggs, veggies, and fruit).  Another big day coming up!

Bonne Nuit and See Ya Later, eh...

Things that broke, in chronological order (2024)…

And what we did or didn't do about it... Kabola furnace ship hot water loop, inop. ·        We never did find the fix for this.    Costica (Kabola genius) was aboard to help diagnose while we were still in Anacortes. Windlass ·        Turned out to be the breaker (Doh!).    Just closed the breaker and voi-la!    It worked. Thrusters (bow & stern).   When we moved to Lithium batteries and installed new chargers, we forgot to account for the AGMs on the thrusters, so they had no chargers.    ·        Installed AC-DC chargers (bow and stern) that run off the inverter.    Not ideal, but it was expeditious.    Woody came to Campbell River and brought two chargers and installed them – Thanks, Woody. Propane system for the gas cooktop.    We had an intermittent very low flame to no flame if multiple burners were on....

In Foggy Bay, Alaska

Image
We are experimenting with Blogger.   Please be patient and we welcome all well-intentioned advice. This morning at 0742, we departed Prince Rupert, BC (see pic on right) for Brundige Inlet, BC, but after a few hours of motoring NNW, the weather was so favorable in Dixon Entrance that we decided to continue on to Foggy Bay, Alaska.   We cleared US Customs while underway via CBPRoam without any issues.   We snaked into the inner bay and dropped the hook at 1422.   And Foggy Bay is aptly named; visibility is about 1/2 mile as verified by radar. Foggy Bay has a super tight tricky entrance to the inner bay.   Beware the known uncharted rock just south of the islet as you enter the inner channel (I added it to our charts, see pic below).  After a scary bit of steering to avoid what I thought were rocky shoals along the east side of the west islands, we are at last anchored in the inner bay; 35’ deep with 115’ of chain out; safe and snug.   The “rocky shoals”...
