On Saturday, we drove to Norwich to drop off some sections of our flybridge enclosure that needed repair. Friends and dock mates Carol Ann and Rob had recommended Frank's Auto Tops & Seat Covers in North Franklin to us and we that's where we went on Saturday morning. Dan, son of Frank, opened his beautiful shop for us and said that replacing some zippers and reinforcing come corners would be easy and wouldn't take him long. What a find this guy is! Knows more boat boat canvas than we ever will. Thank God that some of these traditional craftspeople are still around and thanks to Carol Ann and Rob for recommending him.
Franklin is just north of Norwich so after seeing Dan, we drove down the marina and took some pictures. There's nothing more depressing than seeing a dock in winter that we've had so much fun in during the summer.( I know. Bad sentence structure. We'' ll fix it when this cold is gone.) Rob, looks like your slip is unfrozen and ready for you...
From Norwich, we went back to Portland specifically to get the old fridge off the boat. It was really in the way and we need both engine hatches open to run the new cable TV line.
We didn't take any photos but we did manage to get the old fridge off the boat. It wasn't pretty. We stripped off the compressor and everything else we could unscrew just to make it lighter. Eventually, we got it down to the ground. With that done, we began to think about how we'll get the new fridge up and into the boat. Frances has made some drawings It's going to take a little work but we'll get it done.
