on the mast again
Yesterday, there was another trip up the mast. Wil’s turn this time. I should have timed how long it took me winch him up the 64 feet to the top. As I cranked away, huffing & puffing and as non-stop as possible, he relaxed and took in the views around him. Colin wondered why … Continue reading

up the mast
A couple of days ago, I was hauled to the top of the mast for a quick install of our new wind indicator. The old one had broken off. As for the actual electrical part working, that’s another big question. Our next step is to trace the wires for it. The unit doesn’t turn on … Continue reading

one auto gone, one to go
One vehicle sold! One vehicle to go! This past Friday evening, we said good-bye to one of our favorite possessions, a 1980 Toyota Landcruiser BJ40 that Wil imported from New Zealand several years ago.
