Memorial Day weekend, it's not a holiday we have in Canada but being in the States we will remember the fallen and gladly take the four day weekend. We've been busy as beavers and down at the boat everyday this week.
Playing around with Barney, he is in training to be my pirate bird. We are ignoring each other here.
He's my breakfast buddy. Barney want a ... Oatmeal?
This has become Ashy's favourite hang out in her cabin. With her hello kitty pillow, she plays her Nintendo and reads her books, by the light of her new butterfly nightlight. Doesn't every boat have a fake branch protruding from the bulkhead?
I've been plugging away at getting the mattresses done. We have frankensteined the kids beds out of the left over foam we had from the salon cushions, a lot of cutting and glueing together and then making a cover for them. Aislinn complained that hers was too small so I just shoved some extra loose piece of foam around the sides for now. Little miss isn't happy with this solution so I will be moving on to plan B, which is taking her current bed mattress at home and cutting it to fit.

The boys watching Duck Tales on their bed. They like their mattress (thankfully.)
They boys new nightlight. Totally awesome! I want one for my cabin.
Me hanging screens over the hatches.
Curtains in huge boys cabin.
New air purifier, the paint smell is lingering, hoping this will help.
A cross stitched pillow I made for Mark on his last deployment.
It was a cold and rainy day here in Whidbey, perfect day for a fire, time to flash up the skippy.
Step 1. Insert smoke pipe on deck.
Step 2. Load with paper and wood. (Preferably not wood you just spent half hour trying to cut to size in the cockpit with a dull jigsaw.)
Step 3. Light.
Step 4. Bask in the heat and the joy of a task well done.

We now have running water in the galley. We had to remove the old water filter from the system, it was leaking, but it is running smoothly now. So we have managed to get the water coming onto the boat, now we just need to figure out a way to get it back off. We have no grey water tanks in place or pump outs or ... Drains even, so right now we are using the old, bucket under the sink system, works great.
An all day project, but TV is installed.
We have plans for the whole grey water system but will need some more professional help to implement it all, so for now we are making due with what we have. The last major things on order are the table for the salon and the stove in the galley, hoping to have those in place soon.
