Good Morning…. It’s saturday, I think…. (we’re cruisers…and have lost the clock that say’s “Monday / Tuesday… etc.)….

It’s Fourth of July weekend, and Canada Days…. It’s a shame it’s NOT sunny and wonderful outside…right NOW… BUT sun will return this PM and tomorrow… (I think)…. The tropical storm formed near NC is heading out to sea… (I hope)….

We finished the cleaning of the waterline of AB, and the polishing of most of the Stainess steel, AND yesterday I spent many hours cleaning fenders, and changing their support lines…. I’m cutting up some of the lines (that we’ve stored for years in the aft deck box… that we’ve never used…)… and now making use of them…

the AB is getting LIGHTER every day…. I’m tossing things (parts/ lines/ JUNK/ some spares….). In preparation for either a wonderful, or final sailing season…. We’ve done this for 18 years…. Gone up and down the entire coast of the USA 36 times… ( i see the flora, and fauna of the coats in my mind)…

I’ve pickled the watermaker for this summer season…

I’m trying. to clean up the inside of AB, so that we don’t look like an episode of “Hoarders”… from cable TV.

There’s NO tent here at the marina to play music UNDER…(weather being a factor)… and there’s NO “heated POOL” this year… Liner being ripped and the Owner not willing to spend time or money to replace, and FILL…. SO… this year at the marina is one of worst so far….
The good thing is we have a secure dock with fixed cleats, and nice neighbors….

Last night we had a great music, and happy hour (under the VIRTUAL TENT; NEAR THE VIRTUAL POOL)…. 🙂

OH WELL… time to get on with the day….
SUN is coming OUT… NICE!!
