Frost on the Pumkin ABND

We’ve been at Sailcraft Marine for 10 days, but there is frost on the decks this morning and it’s time to head further south, for sure! We leave for Beaufort or Morehead City in an hour or so.

Bill was brilliant this week and (among other things) installed a new (Spectra) watermaker, an Air-X wind generator, and bolted down the deck boxes he built at home. I waxed and caulked and stood by as first assistant. Act III is really ready for cruising now. We feel god-like after making our own water last night for the first time.

We plan to continue down the Intra-coastal for awhile, unless we’re forced outside to avoid shoal water. Florida is looking better every day I put my long-johns on.

No pictures from here…we put in long 10-12 hour work-days and fell into bed at night.
