About Our Boat

We bought a 1997 custom built Simpson 13.7M catamaran. It is cedar wood core overlayed with epoxy fiberglass. We are changing out the diesel motors to Oceanvolt electric motors and the diesel tank to Cleantron lithium batteries.

The inside is beautiful and very nice. The outside needs a makeover, but nothing that some good old elbow grease (and a good random orbital sander) won't fix!

Windows, and Sun Shades, and Ladders - Oh My!

Greetings all - We've gotten some things done this week and some not.  But that's life sometimes, right? I leave to go home tomorrow, so I figure now is a good time to get a post up.  Sometimes it seems that time just flies so quickly. In looking through all that needed to be done to paint the motor compartments, we decided that we needed to first reinstall the swim ladders on the transom of each hull.  That's because the mounting for the ladders comes through into the motor compartments and we didn't want to do that work first and then drill back through it and mess it back up again.  Silly us, we thought that would be a pretty quick job.  LOL Last year at this time, on Mother's Day in fact, John woke up sick and it turned out that he had a pretty bad cellulitis infection in his left leg.  Two round of antibiotics cleared it up.  Guess what happened this year - yep, a cellulitis infection in his right leg.  It didn't make him as sick, but with al...

Getting Back to Eternity Updates!!!

 We are still here and still working on everything.  Life is crazy busy at home as well.   Sorry I haven't been updating things lately.  Trying to get back into focus with it now.  Some of the big updates since last post: We have a much bigger battery bank for the cabin - called the house bank.  We upgraded to lithium-iron-phosphate or LifPo batteries and they give us plenty of power for daily living without being constantly connected to the dock or running a generator.  We put in six 230 amp hour batteries for a total of about 1400 amp hours or 17K watt hours.  That means we have three substantial battery banks, one for each electric motor (around 15K watt hours each) and our house bank.  John has made it so we can move power between the three of them whenever needed which makes it easy for us to do nearly anything we want when we want. We added a stainless steel arch off the stern of the boat and loaded it up with bi-facial solar to gr...
