September Cruising Expenses - a comparison of 2009 to 2010

The month of September... and we're still not through spending money to make the boat a more comfortable and safe place to live. Our days of freezing 3 liter bottles of water in the Engel freezer and using them as block ice to cool the items in the fridge came to a screeching halt when it was so hot outdoors that the freezer couldn't keep up. So this month, we purchased an Adler Barber evaporator and compressor. What a delight... cold drinking water, veggies and fruit that last, ICE! And boy, did we create more freezer space!

Jim insulated the fridge when we were on the hard in Mazatlan. He tossed the existing insulation and put in high quality foam. He then built his own box inside the fridge. It is absolutely the best!
