hen I went shopping for a cooktop. I needed one for the yacht. I, of course, thought I wanted something like this...with no ucky gas burners. Bazza thought I did NOT need something like that, as he said I would have to run the generator 24/7 whenever I wanted to cook anything. Not a problem in my world, although I certainly thought running around turning off other things to run the cooktop was not a great idea....

I thought if I could not have a Jenn Air, that maybe I could have something like this. It has spots for steam vegetables, a deep fryer and a grill. He added it up for me and said it was over $5000.00 I may get it for the house yet one day!!!!

This is about what i ended up with whether I wanted it or not, fairly boring run of the mill gas grill. Sigh. Oh well, at least I will have more then 2 working burners!

The laundry room is starting to fill up with boat stuff...The George Foreman Grill I bought for the boat as there are many times during the winter that grilling on the barbecue on the back deck is just a pain in the ass. Too much wind and too many seas. Bazza says he can live with it needing electricity for the times I need it!

This absolutely BEAUTIFUL piece of machinery is an ice machine that HOLDS 60 lbs of ice!! A true commercial one! None of this namby pamby 13 lbs storage like the one they bought on the boat this winter. Even for me with my blended drinks this should work well. AND it is no wider then the old one, although a lot higher..I am doing a happy dance over this....

Continuing on with boat shopping, these are the new lights for reading lights on the beds on the yacht.....

This is the new cockpit coffee table....

And these are the lights to replace all the flat lights that are on the celings...

These are the new sinks! Yes, I have done a bit of shopping. I think I really need to go back to work now to pay for it all...

Now, don't take this to mean that when you show up for YOUR charter in November that this stuff will all be installed! I have found out over the years that BUYING all the replacements and actually having them in place and working are two different things!
