Ohhh, good lord...Blizzard #2 Jan 11-12

 Starboard side of the sundeck (note the door is already opened).

Looking out from the stern...humm quite a job in store for Tom. 

Oven Repair

We expected RO to give us some challenges periodically.  One evening, the oven just quit working.  Our first thought was "BOAT" (Break Out Another Thousand).  Tom found part of the problem, the element was simply not working.  Yesterday morning, he pulled the unit out from the wall and discovered that the wire connecting to the element had shorted.  An easy and inexpensive repair makes my day! No need to fetch the credit card. :)  Tom returned with the supplies needed to fix the wire from Home Depot.  What a shock, did we actually buy something from Home Depot, not West Marine!!??  Now the oven is working again, and he got points from me.  I love you, honey!

 

Bubbler

Our neighbor approached us with a 1.5 hp bubbler and asked if it can be lowered and situated underwater between our yachts.  For those who are not familiar with the marina jargon, the bubbler is an electric motor (sealed, of course) with a small propeller that spins in high speed to keep the water moving at all times.  Consequently, the water around us won't freeze and also protects the docks as well.  With that mind, we have already started the countdown for spring and can't wait to drink & dine on our sundeck....
