Cruising on the Calahoochie!

29 November 2021 | LaBelle city marina
John Robin | 60-70 degrees & clear
Woke up to some rather stif legs and a sore shoulder. Yesterday, While Susan was pursuing sone retail therapy in town, I rode my bike 3 miles over a bridge to a local marine store for parts. I returned, installed the parts, and then found I needed some more parts for the engine room. Back to the store!
The in the afternoon we rode to the Edison Ford museum - twice. That was about a mile each way. We stopped at a restaurant called Joes Crab Shack for dinner, and then rode home. There is one trick sidewalk that we know about, where the ramp is on the side, versus inline with the sidewalk. Darkness and a beer made me forget that trap. And over I went. Landed OK, except, used my right arm to stop the fall. The one I broke in the motorcycle accident. Ouch.

This morning we cast off our lines at 8:30, and started cruising up the Calahoochie River to Labelle. We have done this trip 8 times now, 7 on our boat, and once on Herb's Phanthom. Starting to know the twists and turns, as well as the Southern mansions.
Once we arrived at the City Marina, ( free for 3 days!) and were the only ones in, I started one of my big projects, sanding the aft cabin top. The previous owner had painted a clear coat on the fibreglass, and it is peeling off in sheets. Ugly. So now the top is sanded, and hopefully tomorrow I will apply a coat of marine paint to it. Currently, it makes us look kind of " ghetto" in marinas, with all the discoloured and flaking paint!
Susan made a delicious Turkey Cutlet & yam dinner this evening. May have to bring some back home if food shortages continue!
We went for a walk around the homes close to the marina, and many now have Christmas lights up. Sure does cheer up the neighbourhood!
Susan has been researching a location to get our pcr covid tests, for our flight home. Very hard to find. Everyone down here gets the antigen test, as we did to fly to the U S. Canada, for some reason insists on the pcr. If it is so great, why are mew strains showing up in Canada? We probably will have to go back to Fort Myers, or another city call Lehigh Acres to find a clinic. C'est la vie!
