Somehow we are still working on getting the boat ready.

Yes, it's hot! But it's getting cooler at night. That certainly helps with moral.

I patched some more holes in the dinghy. Maybe tomorrow it will float, the prop should be here tomorrow as well. We may actually go for a ride by tomorrow, maybe Thursday.

Marina is working on keeping us cool. Her latest job is extending the bimini so it covers us some more. The sun can be brutal and the shade certainly helps the situation.

Our planned departure is in about 2 weeks. I have to go to the dentist on Oct 7th for my implant, after that we are free to go. We should be ready by then.

Had an issue with the solar panels..seems the y connectors are junk and the connections came loose. Spent 2 days wondering why the solar controller was in Night mode. It had no juice from the panels. Got that fixed.

Had a plumbing issue. drains in the kitchen sink leaked. Had to rebuild that mess. It's better, still needs some work.

  1. Hi Guys! It was great to actually talk with you today. The adventure has started! Going forward I will text instead of call per your suggestion. If I do call, please answer if you can because it means I really would appreciate immediate communication. I hope you decide to spend some time in Florida/Bahamas as that will probably be my best opportunity to meet up with you. Have fun & be safe! Larry
