Another trip to the storage locker!

Well I managed to get a load of laundry in before the machines got busy and more cleaning.

Al got the stand finished for the 15 horsepower engine. We moved the boat closer to the dock so we could load the outboard on the stand on the dock and then to the car.

Well another trip to the storage locker and Home Depot. We took Jasmine with us this time. We also need more supplies to make the stand for the 3 horsepower outboard. Al will make that stand but we will keep that engine for moving the dingy once we get to Westland in Titusville.

I ordered a ladder to be delivered to Titusville so we can get up on the boat once hauled out. I also managed to catch up on posting our blogs.

Busy Day!

Well today we managed to get out sails down, folded, repaired, bagged and in the car. We also turned our boat around as it seems boats are staying longer and we need to get around them so much easier going forward. We also met up with Nancy and Mike who we met at Ocean Reef.

Then let's take the sails to the storage locker. Then to Home Depot to get wood, screws, etc. so Al can make carts for our outboards. Well now it is almost 9 pm and let's see what we can get to eat from Publix. A long, tiring but productive day.

Storage Locker

Linda McOrmond | Rain, lots of it!
Al helped me install snaps on the front of our windshield dashboard cover. I think that will be it for now as it is windy and I want to put away the sewing machine.But today’s excitement was booking a storage locker in Titusville and beating the rain. We headed over with a vehicle load but forgot a lock. Well off to Ace hardware to get one and load one of many inside. Then we followed the rain back to the boat and managed to get back just in time to close the windows.
