Yes, we were "given" some nice shirts, caps and drinking bottles
because we are boat owners getting work done on our boat in the yard😎👌

s\v Elegant'sea on the Opequimar travel lift - 2020
s\v Elegant'sea weighed in at 26,901 lbs which is a lot more than from the factory! We are a well equipped boat and the tanks are full. Still, that's a lot. She still sails fine and is sea kindly and motors fine as well!
New digs while our home (s\v Elegant'sea) is in the Opequimar boat yard - 2020
This is where we are staying while our boat\home s\v Elegant'sea is in the Opequimar boat yard. We got a heck of a deal - low season and the Covid situation. We will be here about 12-14 days while we get boat bottom work done.
Getting ready to go to the boat yard, (Opequimar) - 2020

Whale IC bilge pump removed for PSS shaft seal maintenance - 2020
Our PSS Type A Shaft Seal is going to get rebuilt at the Opequimar boat yard in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We will be doing a major bottom job and some other things...this is one of the "other things".
Solar panel covers: first iteration - 2020
We re making a cover for the solar panel cover that is on top of the dodger. We are also having made a boat cover that covers the area from the top of the dodger to the Bimini. Because the solar panel has some sharp edges we are making the cover.
What we are using now to cover the solar panel will not be good for the new boat cover.
Summer fan blowout- dust off! + nozzle issue - 2020
Who is that masked man!?
And what a difference😎 Last time I cleaned them I used the old paint brush method. It takes more time and I can not do as good a job but this method does a most excellent job. Still, the blades have a bit on them but just a little.
Extending the shunt twisted pair for a new solar remote to come - 2020
Coming up behind the nav station are a set of twisted pair that we never used for the Link2000. We had made up and installed two sets of twisted pair for the link but never used the second one for the starting battery. Now we are extending the twisted pair for the BlueSky Energy IPN ProRemote.
Solar panel covers: pattern and first cut - 2020
This pattern will work for three of the Kyocera Solar KD-135GX 135 Watt 12 VoltSolar Electric Panels we have. The forth is a smaller Solartech 85 Watt Multicrystalline Solar Module one which will need its own pattern.
Rewiring the shunt and house battery terminals - 2020
Well, it ended up being more than just a shunt rewire we did. The wiring we did before we can now see was not entirely correct on the shunt. We still got good Volts data on our Link
2000 but amp hours remaining and other data were off. We mainly use volts. Such as 12.32 volts means our batteries are at 70% so not to let them get any lower!
Whipping etc on the Mantus Chain hook and bridle system - 2020
Our Mantus Chain hook and bridle system had a twisted stainless steel eye and some other whipping needed to be attended to.

Debbie ready to do the "Dirty Jobs" project of the head sink drain hose replacement.
Moved Garmin GMI 10 and it is working - 2020
This Garmin GMI 10 project started because we purchased a Blue Sky Energy IPN ProRemote and need a spot to mount it. The ProRemote will control our BlueSky Energy inc Solar Boost 3024iL DUO solar controller.
Anchor chain bracket: bolts in, done! - 2020
Debbie did the tightening of the nuts and bolts in the chain locker inside
while I held the bolt still in the anchor locker up on deck.
