Projects

Fernandina Beach Library

December 9, 2005

One more project done. The cabin heater is installed. Now, the next time the temperature dips too low, we can warm up.

The hard part is that everything takes so long and is so expensive. The heater cost $400, but added small parts cost another $132, labor (help from the boatyard) cost $500, and docking for a week while we waited on the parts and labor cost $171. It wuld be very nice to be a more self sufficient handyman but one also needs a car to drive to the hardware store.

Next Monday we'll have the canvas work complete, and be ready to head out. Weather permitting, we'll go outside at St. Mary's river and sail 40 hours to Canaveral. We'll be in the Melbourne area by Thursday or so.
