We have moved 2.2 nautical miles to Key West Harbor to have some electrical work done on CHT. We took our Ray Marine Chart plotter, AIS and Sirius weather from CH and needed to transfer it to the systems on the new boat. Tom wisely choose to have a professional tug and pull, pinch and prod the wires into place. We still have a small hiccup in the system but a solution is in the offing and only effects the chart plotter at the nav. station down in the salon. Tomorrow we will head back to Boca Chica Navy Marina for one last night, park the car in storage, do a final load of wash then we take off for the deep blue waters heading north.
To catch up... Tom had shoulder surgergy on 7/24. He still has a twang of pain, but in a different spot now, but his recovery has been fast. and he is glad that it is over.
Our friends Tom and Joy of S/V Kokopelli - we met in Kemah- have caught up with us here at BCNM. We have enjoyed showing them Key West. They have rested up and will be joining us on Saturday heading North and hopefully to some cooler weather.
I continue to knit, adding items to the Christmas stash, but I am also knitting placemats and bathmats for our new home. I will say that it is a joy to take a shower on our boat. No I do not let the water run but it is nice to have everything close by, in air conditioning. We have a sence of home, or the normal things you do in a home enviroment. You have no idea how trying it is to take showers in public spaces all the time, especially here on the base. There is no air conditioning and you are in a sauna both inside and out.
I discover new things every day. The new stove has different levels for the over rack is the latest discovery.
Our next post should be North and hopefully Fort Laurderdale. It will be fun to visit there again.

| to block the sun coming through the hatches, I use pieces of material placed between the screen and hatch. It cut down on the heat. We do need to replace a few of the hatches, bummer |
