We're in Lauderdale until- our itinerary says Monday, but Barry and I both thought we were leaving Sunday... so, we'll let you know what happens.
Layover days are fabulous. I've made a habit of going to St. Bart's Coffee Co in the mornings, then walking on the beach before returning to the boat to get chores done. We've been grocery shopping and gotten errands done while we've been here (and have a car- how convenient!) I went swimming this morning- the pool was heated! and will probably go again tomorrow :)
I've taken virtually no pictures- my apologies.
Oh, but yesterday, we had to take the boat out of the marina, into the channel, to re-fuel. The guy we rafted up to had a vessel that worked like a working barge- he has huge steel poles that he puts in the ground that hold his boat steady so boats can raft up and re-fuel right in the channel. pretty cool- here are pictures.
Today and the rest of this week, we're getting some work done on the boat- electronics stuff. It'll be pretty cool when they finish with it.
Also, the fridge in the galley has been acting super-weird, the freezer's too cold and the fridge isn't cold enough... so that'll get fixed sometime this week as well.
Life is good! Thanks for reading!
Yes, an update!
ReplyDeleteSounds pretty chillax-rific down there. Looks like summer vacation started early for you.
And I couldn't believe that the boat runs on diesel. It's a pretty clean energy source, and the motors are probably a lot quieter than gas engines. Nice job!
