Subject:  Damage Control!

Once we got back into the channel.  I went below.  The damage wasn’t so bad – items shifted in the cabinets. But the cabinet latched held.  But when I opened the spice cabinet they came tumbling out, but none of the containers were broken.  I guess I will have to find a new place for the spices.  I looked in the refrigerator and it looked like some one just dumped food in there.  It was so organized - now its a mess.  I didn't think anything broken.  So I just closed the lid and will deal with it later.  I latched all the draws to keep them from opening and they all held.  The latch on one of the draws was fine before but now it is misaligned.  The pressure from the draw moved the eye on the draw so it does not line up as well as before.   I will have to put that on Captain Steve’s list. 
The salon TV and DVD player are in a cubby, held in place with a framed panel bolted to the wall.  Three speakers are screwed to the panel.  Well thankfully the panel was still intact even though the TV shifted and the DVD player was pushed forward up against the panel.  Only on of the speakers was still hanging on the panel the other 2 were on the floor but still intact.   Another item for Captain Steve.
The stern bedroom was in good shape.  When ever we move the boat I always put the flat screen TV; laptops; fan and lamps on the bed.  So they were in good shape.  Some of the books were knocked off the shelf.  But thankfully as far as I could tell no real damage was done.   But Captain Steve hadn’t checked the engine; generator or bilge yet.


Sea you later!  Engine room damage control!
