My wife and kids surprised me with a fathers day cake on the boat today. It was a really nice break from cleaning.

Hey Steve, it was a fun weekend even though we never left out dock. I had my notes from you on how to get some things done and did pretty well I think. The air conditioner worked great.

Seems like I still had some air in the hot water tank though. Water would come out "bubbly" at first, then it would subside. Any recommendations?

I had some windlass issues the other week and need to post some pics and questions in the appropriate area soon.

I started cleaning the chrome around the gauges, and only completed about a third when it started to thunder. Had to quickly cover up the boat, do a quick vacuuming of cake crumbs, and get out of there. I have a few pics of the new carpet, but when trying to post them, the site says they're to large in size. I don't know why when all of my pics have been done with the same iPhone. I'll have to get online and try resizing.

Edit: I figured out the Photobucket settings

Haha...thats great!

I was at the slip for a few hours yesterday myself. I ran rope lights under the sides of my slip. I might run down tonight to see how they look at night.

What were you using to clean your chrome gauge bezels? This is something I need to do also.

You know you'll need to post pics if you hit the boat dock tonight!

I used some 3M Marine metal restorer and polish on the gauges I got at West Marine. I was pleased but I need a toothbrush to save my fingers next week. I'll try to get some before and after pics up next week.

These aren't near as bright ad the LED rope lights that txvista has in his slip, but they will work for now I guess.

Here's the side-by-side of the chrome gauges. Finished this up Saturday since it was too windy for me to go out.

Wow! Huge difference, and something I need to look at doing for sure. That looks great!
