Marathon, FL - 2/9/11 (day 11)


When we got up this morning, we were full of energy and decided to tackle a couple of boat jobs that really needed done. I spent several hours cleaning diesel soot off the back of the boat and then decided to clean the dinghy good since it still had some May Flys in it from our encounter with them on the Ohio River. I then hoisted it out of the water a little and pulled the plugs to let it drain out. Ricki has wanted to refinish the teak eyebrow around the boat since we bought it years ago. We tried to take it off to work on it but it was glued to the fiberglass as well as screwed and didn't want to release without breaking so with the help of her trusty mouse sander and elbow grease, she has almost half of it sanded. After a trip to the pool to cool off we settled in for dinner and a little TV. We have talked with our friends Barb & Skip on Moor $tuff and it looks like they will be leaving Ft. Myers soon and heading to a marina next to us. We need to get our projects done so we can rent a vehicle and run around when they get here.
Still having picture problems so I am trying another style of posting to see if they can be enlarged.
