Burning diesel

Our boat (soon-to-be home) is functioning perfectly. We took it out into the bay twice last week and got it up to full speed. Besides burning diesel in a most extravagant manner (16 gallons/hour at full throttle) it also helps detach the flora and fauna that so quickly infest boat hulls, props, rudders and bow thrusters in a sub-tropical climate. Of course it is fun too!

Next door neighbors - Ron and Sue joined us aboard for the bottom cleaning run:

Note matching crew uniforms.

Depending on the path Hurricane Laura chooses next week we may be adding extra dock lines over the weekend.
