$26.99 1st weekend of December and the last month of the year... Sailing Life on Jupiter was in town and we met up with them to go out for a day on the dinghy to look for manatees. We also took them to our favorite spot, the Freezer for some salmon dip and steamed shrimp, then off to MacRea's for drinks and some live music. What an amazing day spent with friends.
Wow what a month it has been... We received our package from Total Boat for the repairs that were needed due to the Fire a few months ago. Total boat really hooked us up. They sent Gelcoat with 9 different color pigments, fiberglass mat and supplies to add the new shelf for the generator and new varnish for the teak to shine along with some cleaners to see if we can help get the stain removed.
We start off this month is a vacation! We are heading to Annapolis for the sailboat show. We take a detour to Williamsburg for a couple of days for a visit with family and friends before we head to the show to meet and greet with sponsors and vendors who have helped us to get to this point of the boat. We are picking up the windlass from Schafer Marine who is using our windlass as a demo at the boat show. We also are meeting with Mantus Marine for partnership with our new anchor, dinghy anchor, scuba compressor and a few other things that are needed.
Well the update since the last post was the the burning question.... how did we fare in the hurricane? There was no damage to our boat however, there were some very scary times. At times, we didn't know if we should pack up and get off the dock or continue to stay and wait it out. The docks are floating so at some point you could imagine that all of the boats could just lift off the dock. It came close at one point, that Andy said there was 2-3 feet from the top as the storm surge was so high. We made it though. The hurricane did claim one boat who tied up the outer docks which is not recommended during a storm because it can be so rough. Sadly, that boat sank and it completely broke my heart to watch this happen.
Happy new month to all! What shall we accomplish this month? Well for the 1st day of the month, we woke up on to boat and decided to check the lights because we don't think we have ever actually turned on the anchor light so we don't know if it really works. We were happy to say that "Yes" our anchor light does work and shines so brightly... One more step to getting off the dock and onto the water to stay on the hook.
