When I’m away, boat maintenance falls on Tanya’s shoulders — like she doesn’t have enough to do.  But sometimes things happen unexpectedly and just can’t wait for me to get back. 

Recently she had to diagnose an air conditioner problem and make a temporary repair.  I’m proud of her for that, but when I went back to make a more permanent fix, I had to laugh out loud.

Purple electrical tape?  I don’t even know where she got that.  Maybe she has a toolbox somewhere with flowers painted on it.
