Boat Stuff
I found a nice ventilation fan at Restore today for $8. They also had a bar sink faucet for $12 that may work well in the main cabin, and a Stihl 12″electric chainsaw for $30. I found I could get a new one with a warranty for $50, so I passed on the saw.
West Marine Sale – West Marine is having a $20 off on $100 purchase today, so I picked up an anchor rode bucket, a tide watch, rigging knife and some Cap’t Tolley’s Creeping Crack Cure that I thought I might try on Lilikoi. Does it work? I don’t know yet but you have to love the video!

- The creeping crack cure – an interesting concept, but does it work? and if so, for how long?
Insurance Update
BoatsUS sent me an email today with a PDF telling me that I needed to complete the survey soon to keep my policy active. However, considering I don’t have the boat in the water and don’t have plans to do so in the immediate future, any survey wouldn’t be able to assess things like the standing / running rigging, engine or seaworthiness. I called them to ask about deferring the survey until I spring and they suggested we revise the policy for storage only, and I’ll need to complete a survey before I splash the boat. Fine by me – the boat isn’t going to sink in my driveway!
