Pretty regular day, except we borrowed Ken’s truck and trailer and went to West Marine and bought a new dinghy!
Got her home, waxed the bottom and put the motor on. She was launched and deemed seaworthy
6-26
We went about having our maiden voyage in the dinghy! I am 100% pleased with it – and I guess that is pretty much all that is necessary! We rode the coast all the way to the 7 Mile Bridge and crossed under. Plenty of current right there. But we can say that we have had her in the ocean! Back at the boat we made up to meet Ken, Diane, Biddi and Dan at the Island Fish Co. after their hurricane preparedness meeting. In the meantime we met Diana and Bob and invited them aboard. They have friends coming in to look at a boat this afternoon and then we will go with them by car instead of dinghy to the restaurant. That all worked out and we had a good meal. Back at the marina we gathered at Diana and Bob’s boat for the (non)sunset and the usual cast of characters showed up. Bob and Diana’s boat is a 35’ version of ours.
6-27
Took our walk to K-Mart to get some new water shoes. They had a terrible selection and were all black. Ick. So we went to Publix and the selection wasn’t any better, but they were cheaper and they had both our sizes. The only excitement was this iguana which found its way onto Ken and Diane's boat!
Had a pretty lazy day, but I did some cleaning and Harold sat at the computer authoring. Went for a swim, had supper and gathered on the dock with the gang. There hasn’t been a really good sunset since we have been here.
