All Systems Go!

The rental car was returned early this morning. Once back aboard, now without a vehicle, we are getting all the systems operational. First and foremost, is heat. The overnight temp was 32 degrees and the weatherman promises a high of 55 today. We have decided to stay put today and use the electric heater while we get things together. Tonight's low is expected to be 28 degrees!

Our tasks for the day include draining the water tank and refilling it with fresh water; start the engines and make sure they are running properly; fill the stove with alcohol and add the accessories we purchased over the hiatus and finally we have to check the electrolytes in the batteries.

By 1200 hours, we have accomplished all of our tasks. All systems are go.. We will definitely leave Nettles Island tomorrow. Accuweather tells us that its ten degrees warmer in West Palm Beach and perhaps as much as 15 degrees warmer in the Keys.

THat sounds good to us!
