Swinging Pipe

Kato Marine fabricated this curvy 1-1/4" stainless pipe to connect between the deck and the galley cabinet. The propane fuel line and the solenoid wiring will run through the pipe. This picture shows the "dry fit", to find the correct orientation for the backing plate at the top. The plate will be welded to the tube and then we can install. The other pipe is the path for the centerboard cable, from the deck through the water line.

Annapolis Yacht Club

This is AYC at sunset. Storm clouds were passing through the area... I took this with my iPhone and processed it with Pixlromatic.

Wireless Display

This is an Arduino WiFi shield. I'm planning to build a bridge from my instrument bus, set up a web service for the NMEA data, and display it on my iPhone. This will be very cool if I can make it work.

Propane Stove Retrofit Progress

 Above, you can see the PVC mock-up of the stainless steel pipe where the gas line will come through from the deck and go through the countertop.

 Here is what 30 years of cooking and no cleaning looks like! This is the area behind the stove, which is very hard to get to.

After a little cleanup! It's hard to believe the builder put such beautiful wood behind a stove where it would never be seen.

The new stove, nice and shiny!
