Keeping Busy!

Monday we rode our bikes west for a mile and found the Turtle Rescue Hospital, West Marine, and Chiki Tiki Bar. Tuesday we spent the morning doing laundry. Try sharing 4 washers & dryers with 288 moorings.


Since there are no TV channels to watch we are very lucky to pass our on board time with boat work, listening to our Sirius radio, and reading on the Kindle. Tuesday night we opened a new card game called Golf. Our golfing friends will appreciate the pictures on the cards! Peter set up Jane's hanging chair from the radar arch. She and Pretzel enjoyed swinging in the breeze for a while.

Of course the lowest score wins!
Peter beat me by 2 points.
 Lucky draw because I was 30 pts ahead!



My little bit of heaven.











Outdoor living space. We close up at night
to keep it dry.

Today Peter took the dingy to the only fuel dock at the entrance of Boot Key Harbor and filled our jugs with gasoline for the generator and diesel for the engine. We turn the engine on an hour each morning to heat hot water and give a boost to the daily charge. We are getting 11amps in from solar at the height of the day and a trickle from the wind generator. We haven’t used the generator yet so that will probably be used to recharge 110 toys like the phones, computers, etc.
