We have been at Indiantown Marina for a few days now and have met a lot of fellow Canadians who store there boat here year after year as it is a hurricane hole. Yesterday (Sunday 08) we started getting the boat ready for storage. I guess I got the short end of the stick as I got to clean the bilge's (YUK) not a fun job( when is this apprenticeship going to end), while Todd cleaned the decks and canvas. On (Monday 09) I started washing down the inside of the boat with vinegar & water for mold & mildew control and we took down the mizzen and stay sail while it was cool outside. Todd drained the fuel from the dinghy motor and got it ready . While sitting in the cockpit have a beer break I notice something in the water, when I went to investigate it, I noticed it was an alligator
(see above pic). We haven't had a chance to go exploring yet but once the boat is in her cradle for the season we will go exploring.
