This is Apropos’ home for the next 4 days.  The Seattle crew flew home today and my new crew (Karen and Jacintha) arrive tomorrow.  The Sausalito Art’s Festival is going on this weekend and is a 5 minute walk from Schoonmaker Marina, so it’s the perfect place to be.  There’s even a sandy beach right near the boat.

Yesterday I replaced the port-side deck-to-tank hose that was preventing me from filling the port tank.  The old one was not rated for diesel and turned spongey at the bend where it connected to the tank.  This is probably the source of our fuel problems a few days ago.  West Marine was nearby and had the correct hose.

Today I gave the cabin a good cleaning.  The brass pole is a barometer of how clean the boat is since I cleaned it last–so the boat is CLEAN!
