Indeed, the work is done on the heat exchanger and the bill is paid. Next weekend, we'll spend time on Robin and, we hope, there will be wind enough to leave the dock.
This week, I spent two days aboard, taking care of a number of minor items. These included removing a cell phone antenna from the top of the mast and replacing a bulb up there for the anchor light. The antenna was there to boost the cell phone signal when I was employed and working aboard. I had an air card for the laptop and wanted to be able to communicate and file stories from remote anchorages. Since I no long need that capabiity, there was no reason to clutter the masthead with the antenna, nor to have its cable climbing the outside of the mast.
I also managed to get working one item that proves we are not serious long distance cruisers -- the air conditioner. That's a good thing, because in the days when the temperature hits 90 degrees Farenheit and above, the AC makes staying aboard tolerable.
I'll be returning to Robin next week for two or three days with the hopes of getting her in top shape before the long weekend. A dab of paint here, some caulk there and she should be presentable in any harbor.
