We did find a used inflatable to replace that poor little Port a bote. I couldn't convince Marilyn to get in the port a bote so I knew we had to do something. I talked with the boat yard office this afternoon and made arrangements for the boat to be put back in the water on the Monday after Thanksgiving. The new batteries are in and we need one more fitting to replace the sump pump in the head. A new selenoid has been ordered for the propane, but even if it doesn't come right away, it can be installed when the boat is in the water. I need to have the wind stop blowing for at least one day so that I can get the two head sails put on the boat. I tried to put the big screecher on yesterday, but when it was half way up, we realized that it was just too windy to get it up, secured and rolled up.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but it was pretty warm today. When I got in the car to leave about 2:00pm the car thermometer said 88 and it was sitting in the shade. It was also pretty humid. When I got done cleaning the dingy, my shirt looked like I'd gone swimming.
We're starting to get the Skype thing down. We placed a video call to our daughter and grandson this evening and also talked with Colleen Schweigert last week. So, if you want to Skype, let us know.
