Day 66 Cloudy, cool and lazy

Woke up to a slight drizzle ant totally overcast skies.  We had a quick breakfast and took off for the local farmers market.  They have a local baker that does great bread.  We got there before she was even set up and yet she already had a line outside her tent 20 people long waiting for her.  We bought several loaves of bread and rolls and then moved on to the berry booth.  Fresh raspberries and strawberries.  They are so much better than what we can get in the supermarkets.  The only drawback is that they have to be eaten quickly as they are at their ripest.

Went back to the marine store to see if they had added anything new to their sale stuff.  No such luck.  Then off to the regular grocery store to get the things we needed that the farmers market didn't have and back to the boat. 

A nice lazy day followed.  Reading manuals and snoozing in the cockpit.  With all the canvas surrounding the cockpit, it a nice enclosed space.  Blue doesn't like it as it keeps her from free access to the deck and it makes it easier to keep track of her.  The boys don't care.

Tracy spent time organizing and figuring out things that can come off the boat and be put into storage before the trip North.  Tomorrow, off they go.  It will clear up a good bit of space and make less things that will go flying if the winds are fickle when we are out there.  Everything has to be tied down or with the wave action we might face, they will go flying.  

I tried to clean off my workshop area.  Some success but still more to be put away.  It's getting hard to find places to put things.  Plus keeping everything organized so I can find it when it's needed is the real challenge.  I'll start in on it again tomorrow.

More clouds and drizzle set for tomorrow so we can spend more time inside getting things fastened down.
