Dean Perry | VERY WINDY
WELL…… Let’s see NOW…. It’s been a while since I’ve written a decent EMAIL…. I’ve been posting on FB because it’s relatively easy….. BUT so many of our friends refuse to have a FB account… Let Me try this….
OK….. I know I mentioned a lovely DINNER and conversations at Mike and Donna’s home, here IN VERO BEACH…. We also got a chance to do laundry… WONDERFUL… on both accounts… They are such great folks… We enjoy every moment we get with them…
The very next day (SATURDAY)…we met ANN GATES (fellow cruiser – although she sold “Krazy Lady II”… she’s still a cruiser at heart…. Traveling all the way down to FL, from Oswego NY… to assist a friend… with a surgery recovery…
We had a great Lunch at Mr. Manatee’s… followed by an afternoon of conversations about anything and everything…. WONDERFUL !!
We said good bye to KISMET (island packet 35)…. They were leaving shortly…
Sunday we “sprung Ahead” (our clocks)….although we’re still not used to the additional hour at night…
WE also checked the Bank accounts for the tax returns, and stimulus $$....
On Monday, or Tuesday we signed up for one more MONTH here at Vero Beach… that will cover us for the second shot of Covid-19 vaccine, plus time to put the finishing touches on the sea-worthiness of AB, after sitting still since DEC 2020. (WELL….that’s not totally true.. we start the engine, and exercise the transmission every week…(Sunday)…. And use the dinghy almost every day… (cruisers CAR)…
We continue to give GARY and Diane rides to and from shore to their S/V “Ms Diane”… (FOR SALE)…(Mariner 38 Pilot house sloop). In return GARY gave us two “yellow” diesel jerry cans…. And an aluminum 10# propane cylinder…. WE didn’t really need more jerry cans, but It WILL make topping up the tanks, before we drop the mooring lines, easier. SO… that was great !!!
They are now fIlled… and waiting to be dumped into the tanks…
Thursday (last ) Susan and I got the second of the covid-19 (Moderna) vaccine shots… WE worred all week about the reactions to those shots, BUT….. there were none… at least if there were we didn’t notice… .other than we took a long nap on Friday afternoon…. SO….. I guess we were LUCKY…
The five or six days leading up to the VACCINE day were absolutely perfect days for varnishing…SO we did the entire boat… TEAK… SO… when people talk about that “achy feeling in their muscles after the shot…. I can’t tell if it’s the SHOT, or the result of crawling around on the decks, with knee pads on…
Heheheheh
Today I ran the Perkins engine…(day ahead of normal)…. VERY WINDY today…. In fact I just “shut DOWN” the wind Generator… Batteries at 13.25 volts… and Wind GEN going into “self preservation mode every few minutes (Free Wheeling)….
OK…. No walk today… have to get out early tomorrow… SO… Got to get something out of freezer for tonight’s dinner… MORE LATER !!
