Hi guys!! Today is sunny but still on the chilly side. The winds are rocking us a bit. We have a couple of projects to tackle today. Last night after we turned our water pump on we found a leak near the water tank. We fixed it without any problems and now the pump only runs when we turn the water on. That was easy. We found a leak under the aft head sink and are proceeding to correct that one too. Oh what a life!! We are also in the process of changing our lighting in the salon. We are thinking tracking lights. Any suggestions? I am going to open the blinds and let the sunshine in. I have posted some pictures of the sunset of last night. Sitting on the aft deck and enjoying the lights of the sky is one of the quirks of living aboard. I will let you know how we did with the projects for today.

Just a few pictures of the Feb snow

Our home!!

I know it has been quite awhile since I have posted. We have both been busy. The captain works full-time and the admiral is a full-time student. Lady Star had her first Christmas tree in 2009. We decorated a little, knowing that we would need to find room for the decorations and tree. Our New Year's was quiet and peaceful. The first couple months of this year have been colder then usual. It is the end of Feb. and still in the lower 30's with windchill in the 20's when we get up in the morning. Our highs have only reached the high 50's. Our marina has had the water shut off three times. Off for a couple of weeks then on for a week. The second time we had the water shut off, it was off for 3 weeks to the day. It was on for less then a week and off again. Where is the warm weather? During this cold spell we have fixed most of the air leaks. We have stayed nice and toasty on her. Just waiting 'til we can open up the aft deck.
We are aiming for a cruise this summer. She needs some work before we can set out. I have made a list for the captain and I to tackle. We are taking one task at a time. I am looking forward to cruising south of here and just relaxing. I am hoping to keep a journal here so we can see our progress in action. I will try to post everyday.
