Shopping! The boat's first Christmas

The Sea Dragon is the lucky lady of the party this year. Her presents inlude new diesel hoses, black water hoses, re-furbished sails, new marleon ball valves, clean bunks, and a 5000W power inverter. She also get her very own Rotary Hammer and Tap Drill to clean rust off her bits. (what woman wouldn't want a tap drill in their stocking;) We will be installing a Seagull freshwater purifier for the tap as an extreme measure to ensure sweet water on demand. The Sea Dragon will also get a new glean in her eye when we install the new LED green/white Alpenglow light fixtures. With these new lights, and LED replacements through-out, she will be a softly lit energy efficient eco-machine. Her new SailRite sewing machine will continue to keep the old girl going during the expedition, along with sunshades, buckets, bed covers, etc...

Look forward to new lessons in humility as we install all these parts on the Sea Dragon, Jan 27th-Feb 8th, 2009
