Oriental, NC








Knock wood, the tropical storm brewing out there is turning out to sea and not bother us too much.  Fingers crossed.

Duane has things torn apart to install the new VHF.    

I'm impressed with the removal of a huge cabinet in the master head.  Looks like all the wiring for the boat travels thru large conduits hidden behind the cabinet.


He installed the outside handset first.  It's replacing a wireless unit, so the footprint is quite different.  Unfortunately, there is a poorly drilled hole by previous owners that is exposed now.  That will have to be fixed by some gelcoat application.

 

VHF radio installed at the captain's table.  Now I'll have to do some reading to learn this operationally as it's different than our previous B&G radio.

 

 

While Duane was busy with the installation, I spend several hours at the Walmart doing some more provisioning.  Always a fun chore....
