Chores

When you live on a boat the chores list never quite gets finished. I am proud to report that it has been reduced over the past week to a manageable level. 

 De Anne has found time to kayak, and on Monday we did a barnacle run accompanied by Linda and Larry - former cruisers we first met in Marathon a dozen years ago. They now live in Cape Coral across the river. It was great to have them along and Larry was gracious enough to man the starboard side of the boat to push off the piling, thus avoiding those little nicks that upset De Anne's day. 

 Also in the below picture of De Anne in her kayak, you can see evidence of one of my boat chores. It seems the installer of the davits (me) did a poor job of sealing the davit bases and in the rain, water was seeping into the lazarette. We took down the dinghy, removed the davits, and made a better attempt at weatherproofing.
