Hi to all from Flicka. we are now in Charleston meandering our way to the Turks. Expect to go offshore tomorrow evening an make our way to Jax for a few projects before crossing. Sitting in the rain at anchor and enjoying some classical music for now.

Flicka is still for sale as I still own 1/2 of a Cape Dory 40 up north. She is detailed on the website. Had a major refit in 1995 costing $28,000. I spent about $17,000 additional over the past 5 years of ownership. Adding, maintaining and repairing.

I added a heat exchanger like Pauls on the Westerbeke 30 (3400 hours and still ticking) The plumbing goes from a tee off of the temp sensor and terminates at he top of the thermostat housing. The hot side of the exchanger uses 5/8" radiator hose ! and effectively bypasses the thermostat. The engine ran very cold so I added a valve to restrict the hot side flow. The water on the secondary side is very hot! I estimate 120-140 degrees! Much too hot for a shower. I will add a hot/cold mixer and try to get a nice warm flow. Any thoughts? Other ideas? Will a shower mixer with a thrmostat like the new shower valves use work?

Hi again to all from Flicka 38k in Key West.

Yes regretfully I now will be selling Flicka. My brother and I with partners will be doing some extended cruising and Flicka although perfect for a couple is just too small for the four of us. I will list her for $40,000. Details listed below. I'd appreciate your thoughts. I am not in a particular hurry and expect to bring her to the Bahamas in the Spring and up to New London for the summer.
