Esoteric

This page is a rough photo chronology of our 34 foot Marine Trader trawler named Esoteric and our work on it.

Getting Ready for Cruising - April 1999

This spring has been a time to start fixing and refitting lots of little things.

Here are the new halogen lights we installed throughout the cabin. They really make the night lighting useful. These are new 20W halogen lights on the mast spreader. The power wiring was partially installed by the factory but the job had never been finished.
We found a great spot aboard to store our new little Johnson - every family should have one! We made an outboard mounting out of special machinable marine plastic. We feel it looks rather professional.
We did a lot of research into means of storing and handling a dingy. This simple arrangement is the result so far. Our neighbors Richard & Joyce contributed the block and tackle - perfect! Jean cools off after all this work. Well deserved.

Just before we took title...

The comfy aft state room

A place to cook up a storm.

And here is where we eat the storm.

The 6KW Diesel GenSet

Control of power!

Crawling in here is fun when it's hot.

The fuel injectors must be clean.
