A RAINY COLD DAY IN ANACORTES

We left La Conner on Monday morning, a day later than planned. I had taken our home personal computer apart on Saturday to do a "little maintenance" on it. Just wanted to blow out some of the dust before bringing it up to the boat. Turns out this was not such a good idea. After I finished the computer would not work. I was able to take it to a small computer repair place in Arlington and he said the power supply had gone bad. While he was in there he suggested we upgrade the speed a little so he put in two new RAM boards. When I left  everything was working OK.

When I got to the boat the computer would not work. We have our laptop with us and we found a computer store in Anacortes. So Monday morning I called them when they opened and explained that I was here in a boat and my navigation computer was not working. They said bring it right in and they would get on it right away. Two hours later it was fixed, one of the new RAM boards had failed!! Oh, I forgot to mention; I had to carry the computer 5 blocks to the store and 5 blocks back to the boat. It got pretty heavy.

So the reason we are still here is that some medication for Max was to be mailed here today for us to pick up, but never showed. Hopefully tomorrow.

Last night it really blew and today it rained all day. So we just spent the day doing little jobs around the boat. Mostly just trying to find the right place to store things.

The dogs have the right idea of "taking it easy"

The dogs are slowly getting use to the boat. I must say there were advantages to opening the patio door whenever they wanted to go outside. Now its get the dog collars on,  get the rain gear on, and go for a walk.At least I'm tied to a dock and don't need to row to shore!!

The navigation computer

Today I spent some reviewing our navigation system since we have not used the boat much the past two years

I  guess it's a good thing we do have the dogs to walk every day so we get some exercise.
