Another first

Each day brings along with it a new set of challenges. Our refrigerator had been seeming to draw a lot of power and not really get as cold as should be. We have had crazy winds and the batteries were well topped up but when the frig was running it would drop dangerously low. We supplemented with a couple bags of ice over the weekend until Sam The Refrigeration Mabn could be called first thing Monday morning. He was so prompt and was at the boat by 10:00. But he said he needed AC power to do his work. We don't have  that capability. We had met a lovely coulpe on s/v Chill a couple days before and had drinks on their boat and dinner on ours ... to use the meat I couldn't keep frozen. We had also taken an island tour on Sunday with them. So when they heard our dilemma they offered for us to raft up to them as they have a 1000 watt inverter and an extension cord. They are at anchor and we took a mooring ball ...we ran a really long line and drifted back and came along side. Oh my heart was pounding trying to do this and not hit anything. We did lose the boat boat pole and Brian had to dive in after it. Thankfully they make them to float. I had the swim ladder down as I'm still driving the boat and he clambered on and with Dan's help we were secure. The frig man was here all day and got the job done. We are making ice again!
