Off the Boat and Back into the RV
This is my last night on the boat for about a week. On Friday morning about 8:30, the yard is hauling the boat out of the water and putting it up on supports. The boat needs a little below the water line hull work done. Nothing serious; a bottom cleaning to remove all the wild life that attached itself to the bottom and a little fiberglass repair near the bow thruster. Today folks from the yard showed up to work on the anchor windlass, the 20 kw generator and to help me replace the fried coaxial TV cable. I also finalized details of the canvas work I contracted out (covers for the teak wood rails and windlass cover. I also had to move clothing, food and toiletries back off the boat and into the RV. I got up and was working by 6:30 and didn't sit down to dinner until nearly 8:00 tonight. Gonna head down to the Tampa to area to a place that has some clay tennis courts. I haven't played in almost two months so I hope I haven't lost all of the skills I worked on last summer. One last note for those of you in colder climates; it was nearly 85 degrees with 85% RH today on the boat.
