CRUISING WITH BOB AND MARILYN SCHLOBOHM

The objective of this site is to provide some day to day accounts of our cruising life aboard our 34' catamaran "9 Lives". We hope all of our friends and family will join us from time to time and blog with us whenever they have the chance. Happy sailing!! bschlo@btinet.net.

Getting Closer

This picture was earlier this month when we were visiting Tom in Augusta. I've run out of current pictures, so I guess it's time to start taking some more. There have just been other priorities.

We can kind of see light at the end of the tunnel. Our new friend Lou, not to be confused with Lou Hafermehl, will be helping put in the new batteries and a new shower sump pump today. We're also going to lubricate the roller furling hardware on our head sail since it was hanging up when operated. The only other major thing to complete is replacing a selenoid on the propane gas line. Even in this sailing capital of the world, I couldn't find a replacement selenoid and had to order one. It's suppose to be here early next week, but even if it doesn't get here right away, we can temporarily bypass it and have things operational.

The weather has been really unsettled lately. Very similar to the BVI where clouds come and go. Yesteday a couple of squals came through at the boat yard that must have dumped a half an inch of rain each. Temperatures are still moderate with no snow, so I guess we can tolerate it.

If you haven't already done so, please remember to send me your email address so I can add it to my laptop. My email address is bobsch@btinet.net. Most of my email addresses were on my desk top in Bismarck. Later.
