B.O.A.T.

 You do know the definition of boat (B.O.A.T.) right?  Bring On Another Thousand.  Things were really in pretty good shape when we got to the boat yard until we uncovered the inflatable.  Even though we had it covered, it looks like the summer sun in Florida did a job on the it.  We've been cleaning the big boat and putting sails back on, etc. for the last 3 days and haven't run into anything else that is too serious.  Lots of little Florida bugs to clean off the boat after sitting for 6 months, but we kind of expected that.  Surprisingly, there wasn't much water and/or moisture on the interior so we didn't have anything to deal with like we did last year.

We're going to go to an inflatable sales/repair company in Marathon, tomorrow, show them the picture and see what they say about dinghy repair.  I'm sure that anything can be repaired, but the big questions are how much it will cost and how long it will take.  I did want a smaller dinghy, but I wasn't planning on doing it quite like this.  We'll see what we find out.

The place we're staying is working out very nice.  It has nice accommodations and is relatively close to the boat yard.  The worst thing that has happened while we've been here, at least for Marilyn, is that the Green Bay Packers lost their game last Sunday.  About another week and Andrea and grandson, Ky will be here.  Gramma is really looking forward to that.
