Wow! I'm Syndicated!


I got a surprise when going through my RSS feeds yesterday.  I found that one of my blog entries was now listed on another web site that I regularly read... Three Sheets Northwest!  This is a site that has really interesting and timely reporting of all things nautical happening here in the Puget Sound Area.

You see, awhile ago I had an on-line discussion with Andy Cross and mentioned my blog to him.  one thing lead to another and now I am being published on a much bigger site than mine!  It really has made a difference on the number of visitors I get... up about 300 percent so far.  Now let's see if I can keep making posts that are worthy of continuing that syndication!

Thanks Three Sheets Northwest!!!!

Rainstorm, then Sunshine and my Sister, oh MY!

This is the third summer I have owned Dulcinea.  Every summer I have taken some sort of trip, each year doing it a little bigger, and this year I planned the longest trip I have ever taken... almost 3 weeks!  Now, I am aware of the Cruisers superstition of never starting a passage on a Friday, but I reasoned that this was a vacation , not a passage , so therefore it wouldn't apply to me.... WRONG!  Now, don't get me wrong, overall I had a great time, it is just that I went through some pretty rough times as well. Really?  Again? Looking at Quartermaster Harbor entrance...  2 boats or more so it must be a race! But I am getting ahead of myself...  This years trip was starting on Friday, August 14 and would go through Sept 2nd.  This year I planned well ahead of the trip, and had all of my provisioning and loading done by Thursday, a minor miracle!  Still, I didn't leave as early as I intended to (0800) and by the time...

A "Sharp" solution!

  So, my friends, this post is centered around the problem I have with this drawer, located in the Galley.  You see, I only have 2 drawers in the entire galley. Well.... that is because some of the drawers were removed so a refrigerator could be installed, but still, only TWO drawers.  This top drawer is my silverware/knives/wine and bottle openers/other kitchen gadgets drawer.  It is the second entry on this list that was my greatest concern.  I was worried that one day I would reach into that drawer to get something, and come out with a gash on my hand.     that is because the inside of that drawer looked like this:     yeah... what a mess.  the second issue is, of course it made it hard to find anything.   Enter Bodum.   What is that you ask? The hero of my Galley , of course!  Well, OK, if that is too vague, how about a picture?   Yup!  It is a knife rack!  I was first int...

A POWER-ful Adventure - The Electrical Refit Part 1

Image
 The electrical situation aboard Dulcinea was pretty sad.  it was one of those things that gradually got added to over the course 37 years. Very much like a house that gets modified over the course of many years.  It started out bad, then just got worse.  The FIRST problem was the location of the electrical panels....  This is the aft bulkhead, right next to the galley.  there weren't enough switches, so you had about 4 or 5 items on one switch in some cases. The Fuel gauge and engine hour meter?  see those round dials WAAAAAY to the right in this picture?  That's them!  the only way to read them was to get on your toes, bend over the top of the stove and use a flashlight.... Oh! and the AC breakers?  well, make that singular - Breaker!  all of the outlets, including the refrigerator were on the same breaker.... not good.  But I digress, I was talking about the location.... Why is it bad?  well, that is because of wha...
