Week 3
January 19 - 26, 2018
Entertainment - the big event was the Eagles NFC Championship game against the Vikings. They dominated with 38-7 win. Foles and Pederson were brilliant!
We got the Pyle Projector working (it wasn’t hard to do) and enjoyed watching Netflix shows on a six foot screen. The sound is acceptable making it a great addition to living aboard. Anna Marie hangs a sheet across the back for our screen.
After watching the Post (Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks) at the Tropic, we stopped off at the Key West Margaritaville for Volcano Nachos. They were great and we couldn’t finish them!
We always enjoy the view and a cool breeze at the point.
Work - the Portland Pudgy was dragged out of the truck and splashed. I rowed over to the mothership and tied her off. A few days later, we dragged it up the ramp and chained it off to the side.
I installed a “cutting board” table in the bow cockpit to help with grilling chores. I made a unique leg for support to hold the table up. Self-supporting hinges would have been difficult if not impossible given the angles involved. It’s working out well.
The truck developed a brake problem. While investigating, we noticed that the right front tire was bad. We took it to Marathon Tire and Lube. We ended up with front brakes and four new tires.
Friends and Acquaintances - Kevin and Sandy (Coastal Karma) showed up unexpectedly. They’re renting a room in Blackfin for 11 days. We enjoyed several Happy Hours with them and our other dock mates.
Weather - there were a couple hot days, but it was generally cool with highs in the low 70s and lows in the mid to upper 60s and very windy. There was no need for the heater this week.
