[Rhodes22-list] Steaming light plug

Ron,
Yes, was quite a joy to meet you and Art.  It's funny now that when I
read both of your posts I now attach a personality to each of you.  

I finally got the tarp off of Getaway this past weekend and plan to
splash her on Saturday.   Got a couple of projects first, but the rains
have stopped here (finally).  It costs that much for a mooring in NH?
Or maybe Florida is just that cheap?  Makes me realize what a good deal
we have.

I'll keep the Florida sailing trip in mind, might just head back down
that way this fall.  Thanks - rob

Hey Rob,

It was great meeting you and your friend on your visit to Gulfport.
We're 
back in NH and Serenity is parked in the driveway.  I'm trying to
accomplish 
all those boat tasks that I put off this winter because of the great
sailing 
in the Gulf. I'm following Don Casey's instructions as I am rebedding
all my 
chain plates and I finally got around to painting the shelves under the 
galley. It only took a year since I built the shelves.  I moved the 
transducer for the depth finder inside to the lazarette and epoxied it
into 
place yesterday. Today's project is to install a main battery switch.

Serenity only has two wires into the base of the mast and two wires up
the 
mast.  I guess I'm limited to only a steaming light.  With the cost of 
marine wires I'll put this project off for sometime in the future.  I
would 
love to have an anchor light though. I'm having a problem justifying
putting 
Serenity into the lake this year since the cost of a mooring is greater
than 
my yearly fee for a slip in FL. Forget about the cost of a slip on Lake 
Sunapee or Winnipesauke I just might work on her and forget about NH
sailing 
for this year. If you get back to FL in the Fall or Winter, get in touch
and 
we'll go sailing.

Fair winds,
