A little behind on writing - OK - today I got a diver to check the boat’s running gear and bottom for any slim on barnacle build up. Diver said Liquid Therapy only had a little slime along the waterline. The propeller, rudder, zincs and shaft were all good. We had been moving a bunch until December 21 when we were docked much of the time. Moving keeps the barnacles from having time to start growing. We also had fresh antifouling paint on everything while hauled out for the transmission repair. We have also been running in cooler water where barnacles do not develop
We also are having the ICW mustache cleaned off and the hull waxed. Liquid Therapy will look really good going into the Bahamas. I still want to touch up the brightwork but it keeps raining off and on.
I have been speaking with many boaters here at Lighthouse Point that leave for the Bahamas from the nearby Hillsboro inlet. I’ve decided that will be the inlet we will leave from as well.
It was Tuesday Taco night at the Tiki bar here at the marina and we had nice tacos and much needed conversations with others at the tiki bar. We are really enjoying Lighthouse Point.
Today’s picture is sunset at Lighthouse Point
