It's cold in Hampton VA at this time of kicking off to sail to the Caribbean, so this year we are staged in Beaufort SC at Dataw Island Marina. Much warmer! Crew will arrive tomorrow Wednesday and we will leave either tomorrow pm or Thursday am.
All is almost in order: we ripped out the old refrigeration system last Thursday, and installed a new one - same Frigoboat system but this time the compressor is properly sized : we found out when ordering the new system that the old compressor was too small! The good news is that the new system was in by Sunday evening and we splashed back in the water on Monday...and the darn ice box is now verrrry cold at zero degrees F ! Yippee!!
This is our first post to the blog via email: if it works then we will be emailing updates here.
Best to all,
John and Nancy
