Aug 17 - 21 Maintenance and Repairs

Carla was in Nashville spoiling grandkids.  Dwayne worked on the boat.  The genoa sail went to the sail loft.  Meade A. Breese, sailmaker of Rock Hall did the work.  He re-stitched the sacrificial cloth, patched and re-stitched the clew seam, added some webbing to reinforce the clew ring, and installed a new leech cleat.  Randy came out to trouble-shoot the air conditioning/heating system.  Diagnosis:  the compressor is overheating and needs to be replaced.  Terrie from Kato Marine called, the steering wheel was re-welded.  Dwayne cut out the plastic starboard pieces and bought the materials necessary to install the dinghy’s sonar/depth sounder and the anchor wash-down pump.  He also washed the bird droppings off the deck.
