Still dry...


These were the real reasons Ernie wanted to haul the boat before winter.  These are two of the seacocks and valves that were in the engine compartment.  They could not be closed, which was dangerous, and prevented him from winterizing the engine properly.  Also, note the mixed metals on the one lying down.  That is a big no-no, especially when copper is involved.  Knowing that there are new valves on those thru hulls will help us sleep at night, especially when we are traveling.
