One is always facing challenges when traveling by boat....we've dealt with transmission issues, engine issues...but this week was a catastrophe of mammoth portions.... I broke the carafe to our under the cabinet coffee maker! It is an older working model...and as we discovered, you can't just buy a new carafe. After several trips to WalMart...and several missteps...we finally broke down and just bought a new cheap coffee pot. Caffeine on these cold, o'dark thirty starts was a major necessity!!!!...Since I was in the mood, I also bought a Shark Pet Friendly dust buster....what a deal!!! the other vacuum is a just a hassle to get out and use...this seems to be perfect...may need one at home too! I think we can find a replacement carafe...they'll just now deliver to this moving vessel!!!
