More pics of Painkiller

Gauges, tank levels.

This morning, overcast and still.

Master stateroom.  Need to decorate.

Engine room door, closed for mouse containment.

More gauges.  18.8 is the depth from surface of the water to the bottom of the water.  We go 5.6” below the surface, so there is 13” water before we run aground.  The gauge to the far left is for engine rpm’s and fuel consumption. We watch those two constantly.

Looking up the stairs into the living room (salon).

Chart plotters.  Where we watch the waypoints and know when to turn and how much, also where the hazards are.

From the pilot house, where we “drive” the boat looking up the stairs to the flybridge.  We have another complete set of instruments up there to navigate with.  The dinghy is also up there.  

Ellie and her baby in the salon.

Circuit breakers.  Each circuit is labeled with what it controls.  There’s the 220V section, the 110V section, 12V section.

Guest head (bathroom).

Raking for oysters or clams?? Water is only 2-3’ deep there.

 Master head .

My side of the stateroom. 28” of hanging space  and the cabinets are about 4-5” deep

Painkiller at the dock.  The entire dock had pretty flower pots.

Master head.

I’m beginning to wonder if every sunrise and sunset are gorgeous like this.

The salon.  This is where we spend most of our time.

David’s side of the stateroom.

Radar on the right screen, 3 chart plotters on the left.

Guest stateroom but for now it is Sewing Central and grocery overflow.

Salon with galley on the right, with our new refrigerator.  Stairs go up to the Pilot House, where we steer from.

Galley with the snack basket on the counter.

Pilot house, steering wheel. All navigation electronics

Dredging barge.  They constantly dredge to keep the main channel in the ICW at a depth of 12’

Salon looking down into hallway to heads, staterooms.

Guest head.

Danger sign,  the soldiers at Camp LeJeune  are practicing with live  ammo for training.

Looking down the hallway.  Guest stateroom on the left. Those tiny doors on the right is the linen closet, 6 eight inch cubes, master stateroom  at the far end.

My favorite new thing!  I am target practice for every biting bug out  there. This gadget sucks out the venom for the bites.  Thank you Kitty!

In the pilot house.

We went to Piggly Wiggly Grocery Store this afternoon in the  marina’s loaner car.  It reminded me of a car a teenager would’ve saved up money from his paper route to buy.  But it was free, so I should not be snarky.  We are going to borrow it again in the morning to go to the Post Office and get our propane tanks filled.  David found some good mouse traps at the Ace Hardware store.  We set them with a choice of deli meat and cheese, a feast no mouse could resist, I hope.  After dinner we took a stroll through this cute little town of Beaufort NC and met some very nice, but really drunk people.  They all love Ellie! Today we went from Hampstead, NC to Beaufort, NC, 57 miles, 8 hours.
