Ice Box Refrigeration Retrofit in Progress
Between January 4th and March 23rd, Dobbs and I retro-fitted Grace's 58 year-old ice box with a Sea Frost refrigeration unit. We sanded and refinished the interior of the box and added LOTS more insulation all around. While Dobbs installed the system, I sewed a new dodger to replace an identical one I'd made a while back - the sun had taken its toll. Add in sewing drawstring anchor bags for a dinghy and a daysailor and bottom paint and brightwork maintenance, and our 10 "claimable" boat yard days are more than accounted for!
