From One Exteme to Another

Just like ND, the weather goes from one extreme to the other. The temperature's pretty constant, but the wind is definitely fickle. The forecast for today was from 0 to nothing for wind, so we went with our slip neighbors out to Sombrero Reef which is about 3 miles from where we have the boat. This is the best water that we've seen yet at least for snorkeling. No wind and the water around the reef was crystal clear. The coral was in great shape and there were lots of fish. The state park system has a series of moorings that you can use around the reef, so it made it very easy to get access.

Yesterday we had to get the sail ready to be repaired so Marilyn was looking for the sail bag and I thought I might as well have her clean the sail locker while she was at it. I would have done it myself, but I couldn't fit down inside. Well, at least that's what I told her. Tomorrow we have someone lined up to replact our anchor and deck lights at the top of the mast, so we won't be playing as much as we did today. Our neighbors have a beautiful Krogan Trawler so it was a very nice ride to the reef. We ended the day by taking them out for early dinner. They've done so many nice things for us, we felt that was the least we could do.
