Roy had no problem getting out of the work order. We'll probably leave here about Friday.
Roy phoned the canvas woman for her quote on the sunshade, but it was too high ($700), so he cancelled it.
The radar repairmen came by with the new board, but after they installed it, the radar still didn't work right, so they took it in to the shop.
Roy cleaned out the bilge and installed the alarm on the second bilge pump. That's something else he's been wanting to do for years. If the alarm ever goes off, we've got a problem. A serious problem.
The weather was too cold and damp for varnishing, so I spent most of the day programming. Had a couple of weird problems that took hours to find a solution to. One of the solutions I stumbled upon by chance; it wasn't anywhere in the manual. The other problem involved the printer; it kept double-spacing. After studying the printer manual, I realized I must have accidentally flipped one of the switches on the bottom of the printer. Most printers keep those switches tucked safely out of harm's way, but this little thing has them right out in the open where they're easy to touch and not notice.
I rode my bike to the Post Office to see if I had any mail, but there were a thousand people in line buying 32-cent stamps, so I didn't wait. Went to a nearby ATM for loot and then returned to the boat. I'll go to the Post Office tomorrow morning when it's less crowded.
