The Monkey's Fist: Collecting Cruisers' Perspectives: Frequent Contributors

http://themonkeysfist.blogspot.com/p/frequent-contributors.html

Our Barrel of Monkeys. Monkey See, Monkey Do. Alan and Dog Chloe. 1985 Falmouth Cutter 22. Gunkholing the San Juan's. After losing everything I have in the world, I purchased a little 22' cutter in need of much love. Two years into the refit the boat is nowhere near ready for long distance voyaging and the budget is zero but that isn't stopping me. We live-aboard and cruise full time, refitting as we can.

Life aboard sailing vessel Ambrosia. The adventures of a girl, her dog, and two cats. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. The holidays are almost over now. Then comes a big sigh of relief.

But just the act of going somewhere is better than staying, treading water, going no where. Thursday, December 4, 2014. Buy, buy, buy!

s/v Dreamboat Annie - A Westsail 32: June 2015

http://svdreamboatannie.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 19, 2015. I started plumbing the pressure water system today and I'll tell you, plumbing is confusing! It's not so hard as to the layout and where everything goes, but all the different size fittings, threads, types, etc., it took me almost an hour just to find the right fittings for Stage I. Stage I is what I call the Plumbing Engine. It consists of the strainer, water pump, accumulator tank, water filter, and a check valve. Fair seas and God bless! Without the Plumbing Engine.
