July 17, 2001 -- It's Done! -- Does it Work?

This morning, we decided to head into town to pick up the PVC pipe for the framing on the windscoop, as well as to pick up perishables from the grocery store.

We headed into town to Hubbard's hardware store, and found the PVC pipe. Then we walked to Island Water World to pick up a few things. We hopped a bus to the Grand Anse mall to see if they had any bagels. Unfortunately, they don't. However, the woman at the bread counter said that I could place an order for a dozen to be picked up tomorrow.

We walked up to Spiceland Mall where we had lunch and then did our grocery shopping.

We returned to the boat, and after putting everything away, I went to work on the wind scoop again. At the end of the afternoon, I had completed the scoop, for the most part. There are still a few snaps to add, but I could put it up to test. I even went so far as to tell Mike that if it rained during the night he could wake me up to take the windscoop down if it leaked! Mike wanted that one in writing.

We spent a quiet evening on the boat.
