Thursday, 4-8-21, we took a day to gather ourselves and rest, ha! We got up, waited for the bugs to go away but before the sun got too high, to wash the boat. No need to go to the gym now. When David went up to the office to pay, he ran into the guys that do the varnish work for Burr Yachts on their Fleming boats. They gave us a plan for our rails after looking at our varnish. Strip it all the way down, 3weeks for the work to be done correctly. It might be a good time to do it when we head to Phoenix to meet our brand new Grandson. The guys in the yard drove the cherry picker over to our slip and they were able to change out the dyneema (rope/line that is made out of super metal, amazing strength but light in weight) on the winch that we lower and raise the dinghy onto the boat). That is a huge project we really wanted checked off the list of safety items that needed to be addressed. We were very happy to pay someone to do this job.
Yes, Sir
We made it to Palmetto, FL. The winds were still blowing too much, the water was still Coast Guard departure Jake and Harrison playing on the Ipad We had a stowaway, we turned him loose when we got close to shore, I didn't know how far they can fly so better safe than sorry Our soldiers at work!! Jake will be 14 in a few months Harrison is 11 months rough but what a gorgeous shade of teal blue! We only saw a few dolphin but none came to play along side of the boat. I used the patch again and Ellie had her L-Theanine so we both tolerated the rocking' and rollin' better. When we only had 3 hours left to go to reach the marina, we were hailed by the Coast Guard. Oh, crimany, what did we do or not do??? We were asked to put the boat in neutral, did we have any weapons on board and may they come aboard for a safety check? We did as asked, they pulled up beside us and came aboard. ...
I was wondering how your trip was going- glad to see a recent post!
