Water Purification
Clean and safe drinking water is a top priority while cruising. The Acuva ArrowMax 2.0 water purifier with an advanced pre-filter is a game-changer for us. It’s been a reliable solution to ensure our water supply remains pristine. The Acuva ArrowMax 2.0 uses a UV-LED to purify the water. It inactivates 99.999% of E. coli […]
Taking Out the Trash
There are a lot of things I never thought I’d get excited about until we moved on a boat, and the trash can is one of them. The trash can has been a problem since we “remodeled” the galley. The old trash can was a hole in the middle of the countertop. It wasted a lot […]

Scratch That
So we thought our water tank was water tight…scratch that. It’s leaking. We saw a small drip, drip, drip at the aft corner into the lower bilge. Just what we need – another project.
Ice Box Demolition
Seems like I spend more time tearing things apart than I do putting them back together. Now that we dumped a bunch of money into a new refer system, no more excuses.
