Bimini
31 December 2015
December 20, 2015. We have an aft head that is clogged and will rebuild pump. Went to see Star Wars 7 but there were no seats available so we went to the Hurricane and watched the Colts lose one. Stopped at Home Depot for Batteries and rubbing compound.
December 21, 2015. Rebuilt head pump but that did not fix it. Need to replace line from head to tank.
December 22, 2015. Ferried V&L to shuttle then went to West Marine and got new line for aft head.
December 23, 2015. Worked on R&R for head line and came up short 1 fitting. Went to WM again and finished project. Works well now.
December 24, 2015. Quiet day
December 25, 2015. Merry Christmas. Talked to kids and discussed what was received for Christmas. Went to Fl Keys Steak and Lobster for dinner with darling wife.
December 26. Continued provisioning the boat for the Bahamas. Looks like a weather window for late this week to make the crossing. Met V&L on return from Seattle
Dec 27 - 29 prepped boat
Dec 30 last grocery shopping, last restuarant meal, last shower, last laundry, untied from the mangroves, motored to Burdines for fuel and water, motored outside Boot Key and anchored. Secured dinghy motor and dinghy for crossing. V&L joined us at anchor for the night.
