Yesterday, we were able to apply three coats of varnish, so, after Yoga, we planned to follow up with a light sanding and three more coats today. After Yoga, we met the Fritz's for a quick lunch at the Cabana and then we were off for some light grocery shopping at Publix.
We returned to the boat at around 1400 hours. Anna Marie was going to do the sanding while I scrapped barnacles off the bottom. The water temperature was in the mid to high 70's and was very comfortable. I scrapped as best I could, but I was too buoyant, even while holding to 12 pound dinghy anchor. While treading water, I cut my foot on some barnacles that were on the rudder.
After about one-half hour, it became evident that we needed a new plan. Besides, a row of dark, menacing clouds signaled that a storm was coming quickly. I got out of the water and we battened down the hatches. A big blow was on the way!
The storm was nasty, but lasted all of perhaps 15 minutes. We spent the rest of the day dodging showers. Rather than work, we fired up the generator and watched some DVD's.
