I figured that this weekend was going to be a good opportunity to do some more “fix it” stuff. Mia wasn’t arriving until Sunday night so I had Saturday to replace the heat exchanger zinc and do some cleaning. I went to two different west marine stores to find the zinc. They’re the same price online but if I could get it from the store then I could save paying shipping on a couple things the size of crayons. Well west marine didn’t have them. I bought boat soap so that I didn’t feel like it was a total waste of a trip. So I orders the zincs online with a couple other small things the boat could use - Cabinet latches - because on a starboard tack one of the cabinet doors always swings open.
So Saturday I cleaned the carpet, pulled it out and cleaned the fiberglass floor underneath, clean little things around, and went sailing on the sabot. Was a good day! I felt productive and was asleep by like 930 on a Saturday night.
