Lobsters and Hot Water

Sunday, July 27, 2025 Kris and Ron picked us up this morning we did a “Costco run”, picked up a few food items for TRANCE. Afterwards we went to Fisherman’s Cove, purchased lobsters for lunch. Went back to their house, cooked them up. Had a great afternoon!

Monday, July 28, 2025 grocery store trip this morning, 2.5 mile walk round trip. Purchases perishable items. Took an Uber to a The Binnacle, a marine store, to purchase a new water heater for TRANCE, it was leaking. Dan had to notch out the fiberglass to get the new unit to fit. He spent 8 hours working on the installation.

Tuesday, July 29, 2025 took an Uber to a Stellar Industrial, a mechanical parts shop, to purchase 15’ of wet exhaust hose that will connect the new water heater to the Yanmar engine. The old hose leaked, wasn’t long enough to cut the ends off to reuse it.

Another 4 hours of work today. All connected and working… No more leaks! Clean up time! Ron dropped-off some engine oil late afternoon and then we went to Rudy & Olive’s Fish and Chips for dinner.

Wednesday, July 30, 2025 laundry day.

There was sailboat racing tonight, and a food truck at the club. Dan was able to crew on a boat, I had pulled pork tacos.

Thursday, July 31, 2025 Ron picked us up in the afternoon for another Costco run, this time to get our propane tank refilled. Later, Dan changed the engine oil. For dinner I made Fajita Chicken with peppers. Continued bingeing Ginny & Georgia.

Friday, August 1, 2025 visit to Wolfville, in the valley, with my cousins. We visited three wineries. Benjamin Bridge, Planters Ridge and Domain de Grand Pré.

  3. The lobster looked amazing! There seems to always be something to fix when you own a boat, nice work and dedication to get it done right.

    1. Yes they were delicious! Every seasons there seams to something needing replacement. Although the water heater was 21 years old, it was time.
