now that all the wedding madness is behind us, eric and i spent the entire day working on the boat. we’ve kinda neglected it lately, and haven’t been doing the necessary maintenance. so today we changed the oil (a pain in the ass, because you need to pump it out… there’s no drain plug), changed the spark plugs, added a second battery and a multi-switch, and best of all, we installed flush-mounted pole holders in the gunnels. tomorrow we’re gonna take her out off the coast of PV and start doing some serious fishing. until now, we’ve stayed within the safety of the federal breakwater, but we figure it’s time we go big or go home.
