I was going to post the same picture as last time, but then figured that one shot of a South Florida personal injury lawyer was enough There is even a firm with advertisements encouraging clients to "Call 1-800-HIT BY CAR" Shades of "Call Saul".
It has been a long process, but we are scheduled to load Eos tomorrow. As the last several weeks have progressed, I have gained a better understanding of how tramp steamers operate, including the unpredictability of schedules. I stopped by the Seven Star Florida office and met Lauren and Monique, our two primary contacts. I think they are hard working people who are very good at dealing with cranky boat owners, specially since they have no control over ship arrival and departure dates.
We have been assigned below deck placement. I had to remove the masthead instruments and anchor light to make the clearance, but this is great since Eos will not be exposed to wind, sun, or salt spray. I cancelled the shrink wrap appointment which saved some of the cost of this adventure.
We will fly home on April 22, allowing extra time for schedule changes.. If all goes well we will have extra days to visit in West Palm Beach where there are several interesting museums, and of course major shopping.
