Yesterday I pulled out the vacuum cleaner that had been left on the boat and plugged it I and fired it up. Sounded great but wasn’t picking anything up. I fiddled around until I got at the bag and found that it was jammed tight with debris. It looked like it hadn’t been emptied ever. Once I emptied it, it worked fine.
This morning I will do grocery shopping with the list that MY Jane e-mailed me and maybe have a look for a marine horn. The one that’s on the boat was not working and when it was checked by the technician, he reported that the wires had been snipped so close to it that it wouldn’t be possible to re-connect. This is a trumpet horn that works with a compressor and they sell for about $300.
I think I’m just going to go with a regular electric horn…enough to satisfy the coast guard requirement.
It’s about one third the price.
Looking forward to having Steven, Klae, and Chris spend the weekend anchored out at McCabe rock. Steven will swing by the house after work and pick Jane up on his way to the marina.
