Oh, two new engines are running fine! A full set of new house batteries....anchor straightened...new anchor chain...the fresh sealer...all have made TUMBLEWEED sea worthy. We think she is looking and running about the best she has in a while. Curtis Stokes (boat broker) and his wife Jill came aboard during the looper rendezvous and made several suggestions for upgrades. They sure thought she was in great shape. Interesting to note that Floyd and I have never really liked the carpet covered walls...but really didn't know what to do about them. Curtis suggested we tear off the carpet and cover the walls with formica! Well, who knew????  Something we hope to do in the Captain's quarters this winter.
