s/v Silhouette sells…




Then – OMG – we sell s/v Silhouette.  The closing date is 8/6/2015, but I have radiation ending on 7/17 and need a follow up with the surgeon two weeks later. 

It was long ago decided that Mark would not help with the move as his disorder (Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis for those who would like to know) becomes very annoying under stressful times.  So…without knowing it would sell when we left he said goodbye on 4/28/2015…

Fir and feathers fly with all kinds of plans on how to accomplish the move but friends Karen and Jack come to the rescue (again).

Karen and Chris drive their 1 ton truck from Texas to Brunswick, GA arriving on the day Silhouette belongs to the new owners 8/6/2015.  Meanwhile, one of the air conditioners on Silhouette gives up the ghost to the tune of $4500 – one last kick in the butt.  But the new unit does not run either.

Friend Mike of s/v Content comes to the rescue (what would we do without friends?).  The last thing we try is removing the inlet hose (from the thru hull to the water pump that is supposed to be cooling the air conditioner).  A picture is worth a thousand words…
