Day 264 We're moving!

I hope you enjoyed the photos in yesterdays post because as of tomorrow we are moving to Brownsville down the coast.  Mark-yard manager and Larry--salesman, came by this afternoon to measure the dock.  They have two big boats coming into the water.  One is a 54 foot Mapleleaf that they have been working on of the past 7 months(hate to see that bill).  I've mentioned it in earlier posts.  It's now into its final stages of its refit and ready to come back in the water.  The other boat is the 40 foot that was set to come up a week ago but got delayed by weather.  There is only so much space at the dock and the 54 footer will take up most of it.  It will be at the dock for several weeks so we are off to Brownsville just East of Silverdale.  We were supposed to be there as of January 1 but hey--free is free where we are now.  

So this afternoon we spent getting things ready for the trip tomorrow.  Tracy is driving the car while I drive Zephyr.  We filled the water tanks and added another hose clamp on the discharge hose for the forward head.  That's where I was when Mark and Larry showed up to break the news to us.  I also found that the hose that leads from the head to the tank leaked at the top of the tank so another hose clamp was added there.  Problem solved.

The wire showed up today for the fog horn but it will have to wait till we get to Brownsville.  I have several horn that will work if there is fog tomorrow.  We will be coming back here regularly.  We have several things on order that are already shipped an should be here with in the next week or so.

We've collected all the invoices from Sea Marine and Brion Toss to send to the Boat US folks so they can review our insurance.  Having done so much to Zephyr, the value they put on her when we bought her is now no where close to what we have spent on her.

It was another sunny day so we spent as much time outside as we could.  Tomorrow, I'll be outside all day so I hope it is as nice as the last three days have been.  Wish us luck.
