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.

Cleanup Continues

Just put new covers on the windows, compliments of Micki Giese.  Micki took the covers we had and the new material and put the new covers together while we were home this summer.  They're beautiful compared to the original covers that were there.  The originals were getting pretty tired.  THANKS MICKI!!!

Marilyn was feeling a little under the weather yesterday, but seems much better today.

We did go to Marathon Friday and talked with the guys at the Inflatable Shop their about our Dinghy situation.  Looks like we're going to buy ourselves a new inflatable for Christmas.  At least we know what we're getting each other now.  The Dinghy we had was made out of PVC and it could be fixed for $600-700 dollars and because of the material, he wouldn't guaranteed the glue job for more than 1 or 2 years at the most.  Like I said, we did want to get a little smaller boat to make it easier to carry and move about.  I just hadn't planned on doing it quite so soon and under this type of circumstance.  The one we're getting will be Hypolon and should deal with the elements much better.

Today is Sunday, so that means we'll be looking for someplace to watch the Packer Game, so not much will be done on the boat today.
