White Pepper was blessed with a visit from first brother-in-law, Charlie Mitchell, and sister Susan Mitchell.
Charlie is an artisan in marine canvas and brought some of his wizardry to us this week. For sailors in need he can be reached at southtexascanvas.net
Most impressive were sheet bags that cleaned up the mess on the coach roof.
Also great were the reworked dodger and splash guards.
The mainsail cover had to be modified because the pole has been mounted on the mast.
Here are Charlie and Susan on the St. Augustine Beach which is awesome in its own right.
In the mean time yours truly has been replacing all of the interior lights with LED equivalents. The results are outstanding. Now we have much more light with negligible power draw. Here is a pic of one of the fluorescent lights that I replaced with LED strips.
My experience makes me wonder why incandescent lighting has survived this long. If we ever go back to Beeville, Texas my first chore will be to replace all of the lights with LED. The case for nostalgia just can not compete with the cost, energy conservation and heat savings. Once again I am reminded that everyone should live for a year on a boat. Then we could all be green without being silly.
White Pepper is tiring of chores. Soon we will be departing Green Cove Springs for parts South.
