We drove up to Moss Landing to spend Thanksgiving with Mimi & Dirk on their boat.

   Their Christmas present arrived a little early, and I helped Dirk install it. Actually, Dirk did most of the real work!

   It was a great little getaway from hell-a.

Dirk cuts the inner vent pipe, that carries the hot air from the stove, out the little vent in the top deck.

Mom's making lunch for the hungry crew.

While Dirk and Rob work on the stove, Nicole works on her relationship with "Morris", the ship's cat.

The stove works great, looks great, and warms the cabin nicely using clean natural gas.

This is the chimney vent on the deck of the flybridge.
