And the work goes on

It’s Sunday night and we’re relaxing in the main cabin after a busy day of boat jobs. The cleaning and organizing is coming along well and so is the leak repair. Mark finished the galley leak repair today so I was able to return all the dishes back to their spots. We were both getting pretty tired of squeezing around all the dishes on the main cabin’s table.

As we work through our jobs, the list of needed items gets longer and longer. We had to get rid of some of the old items on the boat because of the long storage time. Some things like the galley and aft cabin mats, plus the main cabin carpet all need to be replaced. Home Depot, Walmart, Target and ACE Hardware have become our go to places to buy all these replacement items. It’s fun and a bit frustrating trying to find exactly what you want, but things are coming together.

When we first started working on the boat (about 1.5 weeks ago – seems longer 😁), Mark said we would take a day off when the boat was liveable. Well we reached that goal today!!! So our plan is to take tomorrow off (Monday) and head into St. Augustine. We’ll do a little shopping but mostly just walk around and relax. It will be nice to not fix, wash or store something, even if only for a few hours!

Cleaning the aft locker. You can see the mess on top of the navigation station in the background.
The aft head is drying after being cleaned with water/vinegar, oxi-clean and pine sol.
The newly cleaned liquor cabinet. Time to fill her up!!🍾

All put away and back together. Looks beautiful!
Oh such a messy main cabin!
This is tonight (Sunday) after dinner!
Our new galley mat. Appropriate for us, don’t you think!🥂🍷
