Occasionally, living on our boat forces you into "stretch roles". Kirstin has become a canvas virtuoso out of necessity........fix the sail/canvas herself, or pay thousands to have someone else do it.

Even more complicated than it looks |
Unlike many people who are roughing it, we have 3-zone A/C, 3 refgerators, a watermaker, radar, sonar, microwave....basically everthing a condo has and more. When something breaks, we must fix it ourselves. Since we are self-taught, this generally involves learning on the job and hoping that there are no extra parts after reassembly.

Our generator's brain |
Lately, our evening cocktails in the airconditioned saloon was rudely interrupted by a failure of the A/C unit......not OK. So, after fixing a bunch of things that werent broken, we stumbled upon the solution.....a $4 capacitor. Actually, its not that bad......we love boat projects and working with our hands.
