Do a little fixing on the wet wells, on the boat.

Before I buffed these out, there was a lot of drips of fiber glass and paint that dripped into the holes. 

I found this (want to be) Drema and sanded the chips off and it worked great for a $6.99 investment from Harbor Freight a few years ago. I used to have a original Drema. But I brought to the Bahamas when I left to stay there. 

There are two of these wet wells on our boat. This is where we store the fish after we have caught them. Plus use them for some of the bait we caught while we are out in the boat. 

Oh, what was the problem with the holes? The plugs just would not seal properly. 

This one of the covers for them, this way you don't fall into them during your time walking on the boat. 

As this day, is Wednesday morning. Jeanne and I were out yesterday on her and the plugs all held. No water came in at all. The reason is pretty simple, when the wet wells are full of sea water, it weights the boat, and it is harder on the motor and just slows us down. 

We are taking a day off going out. Jeanne has therapy 8am and then 12 noon needs to get her blood tested. 

On Monday coming, she is getting her right hand operated on. She has been having a lot of trouble with both of them. It's not Carpal Tunnel. But something else. She was told that he (doctor) would be pulling a bone out of her right hand and repairing with something else. I am sorry but I have not been going with her to this doctor. Oh, I was there but sat in the waiting room. So, I will be keeping you in the loop on this next week. If you think of her, please say a prayer or two for her. 

This is why we have been going out so much. Prayerfully we will be going on tomorrow and Friday too. 

These are some pictures of the last couple of our trips out. 

What a beautiful riding girl. The engine is purring like a kitten. 

We are using ETHEL FREE GAS. 

Oh when we first were setting the boat up. Jeanne had a guy remake the gas tank. He believes it hold 150+ gallons now. There was a gas tank on the boat before. But it had some troubles with the valves and lines going and coming. So, while Rogar was rebuilding the boat, he hooked us up with a tank builder. He built it and put it in. Rogar covered it up and now we have plenty of gas, plus the cost too. I think when we filled it up, it cost over $600.00. $3.99 a gallon. I think, we have been out on her, about 6 maybe even 7 times. Still have a little more than a half of a tank full.

The gas tanks we used before were two 24 tanks that sat on top of the deck and got in our way all the time. 

We are very thankful for all the work that was done on her. It sure nice to go out and not worry about running out and like I said the motor is purring.
