Finally in the water...splashed the Tumbleweed on Wednesday morning and spent the rest of the day getting those systems to working again...still fighting the water holding tanks and the bilges for showers. Seems that the anti-freeze they used in the water has a rather unpleasant odor. We are on about the fourth run through and still the smell persists. I'm sure it will go away eventually. We spent Thursday shopping. Restocking the empty cabinets and refrigerator is really an all day event...not to mention the schlepping involved. Both Captain and First mate slept well last night in spite of the storm and wind. Temperature yesterday was in the 90s...today we'll be lucky to hit 60...bbbuuurrrr!!!!But we've certainly been colder. It is great day to clean and organize inside...electronic folks are coming on Monday to hook up auto-pilot...also on tap is new stereo and maybe even TV and Blu-ray DVD player. Soon we'll be testing those new shaft locks. That system hopefully will improve fuel consumption. Stay tuned to see if that works.
