Titusville - We have a through hull replaced

Fleetwing is airborne!

 One of the great advantages of the Titusville Marina is the adjacent marina that has a travel lift for haulout for repairs. There’s an excellent marine repair shop called “Boaters Edge” which has always done outstanding work on Fleetwing. In the past, they’ve replaced an aft oil seal on my Volvo, a five hour job for less cost than anywhere else. I’ve also had a forward hatch replaced (no leaks!) and a through hull seacock combination that fed water to my Genset. In every case, they did what they promised and the work was top notch. 

The repair is underway

This time I had the through hull in my swim platform replaced. Upon removal of the old through hull (plastic!), he discovered a small hole in the tube just above the hull. I had a bronze through hull to replace the plastic one and we’re back in our slip in less than three hours.

We’re on A dock with a nice view of the setting sun

We have one more day to enjoy Titusville before having to pack on Sunday for the trip north on Monday. As usual, the car will be filled to the gills. We never seem to have too much room. Hoolie will have his spot but every nook and cranny will be spoken for. We’ll celebrate with a night out at Shilohs for a fish dinner, one of our favorite restaurants in Titusville.
