Liveaboard Mode

Cockpit locker treasures

We have definitely moved into official liveboard mode. 
1.  Most of our stuff is officially stowed - most.
2.  My folding bike -  Ms Moneypenny is up on deck covered with a tarp.  *Things on deck under tarps is a common liveaboard thing.

Running wire for additional bilge pump

3.  Projects are in full swing.
4.  Most of the tools are out most of the time.  *See #3.

No, pic is not turned the wrong way - working on fridge/freezer and solar panel wiring

5.  Project list is growing.  Some are vital, some are would like to do.
6.  We stop and study the contents of the construction dumpster near the bath house each time we pass.  I mean we really look things over good for anything we might need or use somehow.  We are not alone.  ALL the cruisers are doing this. 

Tom has already pulled out one board to use as a mock up on a project.  Luckily he discovered he won't need it after all so back in the dumpster it went for someone else to snag.  (Whew -I was worried about freeloaders hiding in the wood.)   *A couple of the guys here in the marina pull out enough lumber to build herb boxes at the top of two docks.
