As we noted we got here to Marathon on Sunday and spent yesterday doing some exploring and getting about our sojourn on the Island. We started out slowly because it was our first day in weeks with no pressing agenda and enjoyed our usual Sunday morning breakfast of pancakes and bacon. Hmmm, Sunday was the day we got here. Yesterday the wind was blowing in the 20's most of the day. Was great to have our wind generator pump out amps for us. Pretty much since we've been here the boats been rocking very comfortably.
Today we got down to work and the number one project was to replace the long hose that runs from our aft head to the holding tank. About Christmas we discovered that the hose was blocked even though we hadn't used it. So today we got down to it and replaced the hose. It was a major project and a big relief to have it done. So tonight we went out to celebrate our getting here and getting this project done.
This afternoon the Manager of the Association here came by and we met at the tiki hut for happy hour and sundowners as people here do everyday. This week in leading up to the Superbowl there is a shuffleboard tournament and tomorrow we get our chance to be eliminated.
Tonight while visiting at the Tiki Hut I was asked what I did in real life and I replied this is our real life. Each day is a new adventure and the name of the day is unimportant except to know what specials are being offered for happy hour. There are no Mondays and every night is Saturday night. For months we worked to beat the calendar to get the boat south before winter and stay ahead of the cold. We did that and with any luck will have no reason to see cold weather anytime soon. The chill here is cold enough for us. The good news is in a few days it will be warm again.
Tomorrow, more projects, shopping and shuffleboard.
