Time to move on

It is Thursday morning, maybe, I can’t keep track anymore. It is 60 degrees not a cloud in the sky and calm winds. Can I ask for more? The forecast is sunny 82 and light winds.



Here are some pictures Diana took around the Marina. They show only a portion of this large marina. If you are interested check http://www.greenturtlebay.com/ for better picture and details of this lovely place. Our boat is just to the left of the blue roofed marina building. The tall building is the Commonwealth Yacht Club.



Tuesday and Wed. have been busy days in the harbor. There is an endless list of small projects that have taken up two days. Diana did laundry, some cleaning, put Wd40 in a couple of window tracks that where sliding hard. I spent time do the big blog entry and I hauled out both anchor lines and flaked then out on deck to dry. We had the GTB mechanic, Jeff, come down and do 50 hour checks on the engines, including oil and filter changes, transmission fluid change (with filters). I also called the Coast Guard Auxiliary and a very nice gentlemen was able to come over and do a vessel safety check. We passed and got our certificate. Now if we are stopped on the water they won’t want to inspect everything there.



Late yesterday afternoon our friends the Kilanders from Wisconsin arrived and are going to spent about a week with us. We will drop the anchor a couple of nights then find another marina to stop at.



This morning the girls are going grocery shopping and Chookie and I will do a little repair work and finish cleaning the boat, then hopefully by noon we will be out on the water. I don’t know when we may an internet connection again so it may be a few days before the next update.
