Sneak Peak

It has been quite awhile since I promised you the new interior pictures.  Here is a sneak peak at what has happened with Silent Dream.


New Cushions covers and foam.  The mirror was added last year.


Starboard Side

Now the best part of our updates.


New Corian counter tops with under mounted sink and new stove.

Our 13 year old Refrigerator was giving us problems so I replaced it this year.
I moved the thermostat controls outside of the box and installed a digital thermometer.

We will soon be living aboard and will have more pics coming soon.

Under Water Lighting

As we get ready to move aboard and with the weather finally breaking I have had a chance to play catch up.

You see the underwater lights and the lights on the swim platform, both are Blue in color.


When I finished  up the exterior wiring of the lights, this is what happened next.
We are in the Water!!!!

The Waterline Has Been Raised


The boot stripe is painted over and the bottom color has been changed.
Working on the underwater lights now.

New Rub Rail and Lifelines

The old tan Rub Rail is gone and replaced with the new Gray color.  Great improvement to the looks of the  boat.
The Lifelines have also been replaced from the old cracked white plastic coated to bare Stainless.  
I'm loving the new look.



I'm also in the process of raising the water line.  I know we will be in salt water and will float a little higher, but we have always had an issue with the water line in fresh water.  Now that this is our home and the boat will be loaded down even more I feel the need to raise it the width of the boot stripe.  We have read too many cruisers blogs that ended up raising their waterline while in the Caribbean. So that helped with the decision as well.

I will also be changing the bottom paint color to Black.  The Shark White showed too much of everything that was trying to grow on the bottom.

Linda will be back from Hungary soon and the new interior pictures will start appearing as soon as we get the inside clean.
