While laying in bed this morning watching the news and weather report, a strong storm warning was posted with winds gusting to 70 mph. It has really been hot and dry in Florida so I guess it is a good thing but it sure keeps us inside. We had breakfast then put a few more lines on the boat just in case and added additional straps on the dinghy on top of the sunroof so it didn't become a kite. The downside of all this is that our holding tank turned red this morning and we need to go for a pump out. Long story short ..
.. it rained ... it blew ... then the clouds parted about noon and we took off to pump out. The
genset wouldn't cooperate so Ricki couldn't watch her soap on the way but I don't think she will miss anything because you can miss these things for a year and catch up with the next issue. When we turned off the
AICW into Dania Cut we encountered this big boy being pulled out. Then after we passed we saw another tug hooked to the stern which must be a way to keep it straight in the canal should the wind kick up again.
As we left the canal we heard a
securite call from Glaze and there she was. I don't know if you can see the hull color but it is the color of a casket! When we got back Ricki fixed meatball sandwiches for the whole crew and then the rains came again and lasted most of the day. After dinner we watched Dancing with the Stars and retired for the night.
