12/31-1/2/12 Gettin the boat Ready

New Years eve and a big fireworks display at the sailyard in Annapolis.  Had a little bubbly, toasted our friends and family and went right to bed.  Pretty much nothing worked on the boat, no DC, some AC, but pretty sparse.  Of course if i knew then what I know now life would have been a lot better.  The DC breakers on sea view are a little cryptic.  You hit the reset, that drops the breaker you don't really see and then you pull up the lever and wala... you have power.  Today was big time productive, Kevin the boat guy really brought me up to speed and said i was a great assistant.  Installed a new Xantrax charger / inverter, debugged the wiring, checked out shore power, genset power and DC connects.  Got the heater working and now pretty set to go.Still need to get outboard going, fill up with diesel and provision for a week.  Molly is doing wells but is REALLY out of her element and misses Cosmo and Charly.  Patti is planning the first 4 days of the trip on Chesapeake Bay and I am assisting there too.  We got a wifi camera so more pics coming soon.  So we are at 80% go which is way ahead of where i was on Saturday.  If all works out we will leave Annapolis on Friday Morning heading for Solomon Island Saturday night. Sonnys Bday is Sunday so pre happy birthday.
Pics of Annapolis tomorrow as we prepare for the trip.  Hasta La Bye Bye
