What in the world are you doing??

This is a frequent question I ask - as you can tell by the picture below it is extremely difficult to tell.  This is the electrical panel and it is pulled down while Daniel is working on installing new wires for (1) a television antenna; (2) wi-fi connection and (3) who knows what else!  He has spent the better part of the day with the electrical panel in this condition and him pulling wires from all over the boat.  The good news is, I am typing this update by using the new wi-fi connection and when I get finished typing I'm going to turn the television on and look at all the new channels we receive.  So far, instead of 1 PBS channel it looks like we're getting 3 and they're all cooking shows.  Maybe I will learn something new. 
 
 
 
As a side note, it has been a nice day at the boat.  It's overcast and about 75 degrees.  There are lots of people out and about.  We really like the marina - everyone is so friendly and our "neighbors" are all really nice.  Everyone helps each other - which is really wonderful too.  Earlier today a man and his daughter that we met last week arrived on their "new to them" sailboat a couple of docks over and were trying to take down their old sails.  They wrestled with them for about 20 minutes and Daniel ended up walking over to check on them to see if they needed any help.  They were getting ready to do something drastic with the sails because they were not budging and were not coming down.  They had lots of people standing around giving advice but Daniel had told the guy last week how to take the sail down.  Anyway, Daniel offered his help and pulled out a clip that was holding the sail up and the sail just came barreling down.  The guy was really happy.  It's nice to share.  We've had lots of people help us when we need it and it was really nice to be able to help someone else.  Sailors are the best!
