Last Minute Stuff

13 August 2008 | Lasalle, MI
Wow what a night - the boat next to us had his halyard slapping most of the night (very loudly) so there was very little sleep. It took me almost an hour to find the coffee pot, find the coffee and use some decent water - the stuff in the tank needs to be emptied and refilled because it tastes bitter and just plain yucky.

The monitor showed up UPS 8:00 am and we were going over the data still when they called us for training on it at 10:00am. Slight problem hitting the target but the readings were pretty accurate (Dr's office called too with his current results and they matched up pretty good).
Today was a mishmash of unending things to do. One thing led to another and needless to say - we worked on the water pump, the water tank, stowing and restowing tools, stores, etc., tuning the mast, scrubbing the deck and general maintenance. Before we knew it, it was dark and time for bed
