More Wiring

Alice with the remote control for the Superwinch

Alice shows off the Superwinch remote control, which has been connected to the plug-in, as it will be when the system is operational.

A close-up view of the plug-in for the Superwinch remote control, mounted in the junction box on the cabin, and with the wiring installed that connects it to the solenoid.

Another view of the solenoid, now with all the wiring connected…on the left, the wires lead to the battery, in the center to the remote control, and on the right to the winch motor.

Great weather today! Blue skies and sun all morning gave us perfect weather for a walk to Mary Ann’s Kitchen to have breakfast with Ann and Bob. We think Mary Ann’s is one of the best places in Anacortes for breakfast and lunch…the food is fresh, prepared like home-cooked, and they have great service!

Clouds rolled in for the afternoon, with rain in the forecast for tomorrow. So, we took advantage of the dry weather today to paint the junction box for the winch remote plug-in, mount the box on the cabin, and complete the wiring from the solenoid to the plug-in.

Next we’ll be working on the wiring for a system on/off switch and for connecting the battery charger.

Blackberry cobbler

The blackberry cobbler was served warm with vanilla ice cream on top.

The berries were sweetened just enough…so tasty!

So good, we ate the whole thing!

Yesterday was our 39th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed a celebration dinner at Anthony’s at Cap Sante Boat Haven. The restaurant, which opened in Anacortes in 2011, is walking distance from our marina, but due to the unsettled weather (thunderstorms in the distance and tall cumulus clouds overhead), we took the car. Jim had fried oysters and I had the Copper River salmon. Both were excellent.

We don’t usually have dessert, but Anthony’s cobbler dessert specialty was too hard to resist…so we split a blackberry cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream…and ate the whole thing! Wonderful!

And the weather stayed dry…so we could have walked…
