We’ve been working away here on the pier and the days just seem to blend together. We get up, have a good cup of coffee and some breakfast and then we’re off! I head to the cockpit to continue the almost endless job of varnishing our cockpit wood and Mark stays down below to work on his 2 installations – the autopilot and the wind/speed/depth instrument. It’s become a very pleasant routine.
The weather has been quite chilly for Florida! We’ve been running our heating to keep out the evening chill and then again in the morning to heat up the boat. We’ve also had lots of rain which has made working on outside jobs a bit challenging. Yesterday we managed to get the dinghy moved from the bow to its place on the davits at the stern. It was a good day for outdoor work and the job went well.
Although we’ve been working hard on our jobs, we’ve also had some time to visit with our friends on the dock!! Julia and Brad (on Alizarin) are tied up at the floating docks right behind us – we can actually yell to them from our stern quite easily. We had one very fun night on their boat – a great meal and a bit too much adult drinks😁. We all had a slow next day!!
We’re now starting to look at our return to Kingston. Mark booked our haul out today – it’s scheduled for Dec. 5th. That’s our goal – get as much done as possible by then. We’re doing well and I’m confident we’ll be good to go by that date.
