Back on the Boat

New Hinged-Mast & New Paint

While the feverish pitch of working at the house was taking place, Got d’ Fever was in Port Townsend having some work done by Townsend Bay Marine.  She had her Mast repainted and a hinge added for safe passage under those low bridges.  Remember that second anchor locker project completed while in California, we can now use the second anchor line thanks to the installation of an additional deck plate/opening on the bow.  Other work at Port Townsend included refinishing the inside of the pilot-house doors; they look like new again. We also had several hair-line cracks in the fiberglass repaired, commonly caused by stress from extreme sea conditions. 

Crown-Sinnet Knott

Electrical projects included the addition of dedicated AC wall outlets and the installation of the cell-phone range extender on the Mast along with the re-installation of the wifi extender.  On March 22^nd, we drove back to the boat, our floating home. 

Fender created from four Old Lines

Time to check out the work and pay the bill - “cha ching,” oh well, at least we only have one home soaking up money.  We also purchased some new dock lines for the boat and recycled the old lines by making a spare fender, weaving together 4 lines as shown on a diagram we found on the internet.  Java’s idea of helping was lounging around and soaking up the sun – ah, home sweet, home.
