Computers!
Sam's Computer is fixed!
Yesterday we fixed Sam's computer. He put two new fan's and a new heat
sink in it. One of the things we found was that the old heat sink was not
screwed down tightly and the thermal past was barely gripping. It's no
wonder that it wouldn't cool down. Well things are running much better now
so we can get back to putting up videos! We'll be playing catch up for a
while so bear with us please.
Tonight was happy hour again and we spent the evening with friends talking
and hanging out at the Tiki hut here at the Marathon Marina.
Yesterday we also got our bottom cleaned again and I'm working on fixing
cracks in the wood with epoxy. Mostly we're working on the wheel and the
risers for the winches.
Tomorrow we're going to raise the Big head sail. I'm not sure what to call
it but it's a big high cut fore sail with a dousing line. I want to make
sure we can control it and the winds are light so it's a good day to test
it. I'm not sure how we're going to roll it up again. I also want to
practice with the storm sail.
I'm trying to use the time wisely to get ready for our sail north. We can't
go till we get our exhaust elbow back but we can be ready to go so that
when we do get it we won't have to wait weeks to be ready.
I'm really frustrated about this custom elbow. I'm afraid it's going to
cost us over 2000 to have it made. I'm not sure I'm going to deal with
this company again if they are going to do this to me. I was considering
making my entire exhaust with them but at this point I'm thinking not.
It should not be this much.
