[Alberg30] Glue residue, teak, compass etc..

[Mary & Bill Mahony]

Matt,

    Thanks for your reply.  Sadly, there was no trick to the microwave--it
was simply wedged in on a shelf and powered through a normal AC power strip
run off an extension cord for dockside power.  No internal AC hookup.
Having said all that, there is an Alberg on the Yachtworld site, I believe
down in Lake Texoma, that has some pictures of a what appears to be a very
professional microwave/reefer installation, essentially in the original
galley space.  Perhaps you could check it out and contact the owners?  It
looks really nice in the pix, like the boat was designed that way.  Try this

    The term "nav station" might have been careless on my part, or more
likely, indicative of my inexperience.  What I was thinking was a single
location to mount the base unit for the VHF, a new power/breaker panel, and
perhaps a marine stereo unit.  It seemed the combination of the space (since
the old locker is already cut away) and the little fold up table next to the
galley made a good area to put this stuff.

    Thanks for the help!
Bill

         Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide

  My favorite Chesapeake Bay guidebook. While it mentions marinas,
  it concentrates on anchorages--the kind of places I prefer to spend
  my time. And in addition to listing shore facilities, it rates each
  location for Beauty/Interest and Protection. This is the guide you
  need to really cruise the Chesapeake Bay--a smorgasbord of small
  creeks and coves.
