Saturday morning, Shawn spent a few hours installing a HEATER on the YellowBird! Yay! Now I will not be cold as we spend time puttering around our nearby creeks. The heater installs onto the engine, using the heat from the engine as the heat source. He created a vent in the stairs so the heat blows into the passageway between the galley, head and stateroom. It is quite comfortable now after sundown. Some of the heat naturally rises into the salon. A most excellent placement, in my opinion, to give us the best bang for the buck.

So to test it out, we gathered our provisions of wine, ale and snacks and headed out to the bay. Just in time to catch the last rays of sun. It was about 51 degrees outside and the heater kept the inside at 63 degrees which is a good temperature for us in the boat.

We returned to the dock, intending to head to the house to cook dinner, when we saw that despite the clouds, the moon was beautifully (almost) full and shining. So we untied the lines again and headed out to see the moon! As soon as we cleared our creek, the moon went behind the clouds again, but we decided to stay out until we saw it again. After a brief game of hide and seek, the moon appeared. Very bright and beautiful.
