Preparation

Changing the impellar

In preparation for our 10 day tour of the San Juan and Gulf Islands, J has been doing a lot of work on the boat. He has changed the oil and the impellers in both engines. I have no idea what an impeller does, but apparently it’s important and needed to be replaced. He has also purchased new chairs for the fly bridge. He has a new Captain’s Chair and I have a new First Mate’s Chair J I can finally sit next to him while he drives instead of sitting behind him or down in the salon. He has also created a safety line for the anchor so incase that the windlass breaks, we won’t lose the anchor. We leave in less than a week! Count down has begun!
