Day 263 Sun!

The Sun finally poked it head out from behind the clouds!!  There is more scheduled for today!  The Sun drought is broken.  It is forecast for the next few days.  That being said, we spent a good bit of the day outside soaking it in.

The replacement fender from Polyform showed up on Friday and I threaded the line down the center of the tube(sitting outside) that runs down the center of it and tied the knots top and bottom to keep it in place and slide the cover(UV protection) over it and reattached it to Zephyrs side.  Next time, I'll come in a bit slower and easier.  It was great for Polyform to replace it with no questions asked.  I even called them to thank them for such great service.  I'll spread the word about them.

In the afternoon, with it being sunny, we took another walk.  This time around the marina and up the shore.  It was at extremely low tide and lots of actually sandy beach was exposed.  This makes it easier for Tracy with her weak ankles.  The shore up here is normally covered with rocks.  We went up the coast about a mile picking up the stray stone and shell.  It was great to see the Sun again.  Now, it's not that warm, but the simple fact that the Sun was out made all the difference.

With that being said, we're about to be off on another walk.  Got to get our exercise.  

Later this afternoon, we expect to empty the forward cabin to not only see what is in there(a bit of a mess)but to make room more equipment and storage.  When we are at the boat show later this week, we will be looking for a freezer chest to supplement our refrigerator setup and we will need a space to keep it.  There are several made that run on both AC and DC so it covers the best of both worlds of charging systems.  We will see what is available.

Time for a walk.
