Yeah, I could try to patch it together and hope it lasts another year, but it's 14 years old. I'd rather replace it on my own timeline and know we're good.
On a lighter note, Yeti delivered custom drinkware with a boat image that I made from a graphic in the owners manual. Of course, we had to do some product testing!
Mandatory pix of a freshly detailed boat. Garcia's Boat Detailing ... I love these guys. It took a 3-man crew nine hours. The boat is literally cleaner than she has been at any time during our 12 months of ownership.
Yesterday our yacht club held its annual Commissioning Day. The Commodore had asked me to be the MC, so I wrote some good material and got a few hearty laughs from the crowd. It's always a great event ... champagne toasts on a Sunday afternoon, and a chance to hobnob with state/local politicians who all love the event.
Since Diane and I are starting the Great Loop just a few weeks, a bunch of our friends pitched in and got us ten club burgees that we can trade with other clubs along the way. Such a thoughtful gesture! The Commodore toasted our upcoming trip, and got us both teary-eyed. We have wonderful friends.
This week's fail: main breaker for shore power (inside the boat). What's amazing is that it failed in comfortable weather, and in a location where I could get a part delivered the next day. Power is now restored.

I am still amazed after seeing that dash in person. I think I stared at it for 15 minutes and still didn't get enough!
