We've been stationary now for several days in Rodney Bay Marina. Washed the boat thoroughly and have hit Island Water World and several hardware stores as well as several grocery stores in near the mall. We went in to one of our favorite pizza places (Key Largo) for pizza and salad one night and have also been cooking up a storm - Japanese tonkatsu and steamed rice last night. Tonight we are having chicken fricassee with tarragon and a nice chardonnay.
We are making some preliminary plans now on the return of our boat to Florida next season. The most difficult parts are planning for the necessary insurance and also how to make the boat temporarily legal ahead of replacing the holding tank next summer. Plan now is to use one of our Nauta 14 gallon fuel bladders installed under the old holding tank along with new tank fittings to get us through the potty police picket line in the Florida Keys then we should be home free.
We have a nice weather window coming up later in the week for out next hop to Bequia where I plan to work on a new WiFi hotspot and enjoy the Easter Regatta. We will leave here and move to Marigot Bay for one night then start out early the following morning for Bequia.
We've had the company of 4 Islands Packets at one time here and again the folks in the area were asking if there was some sort of IP convention in town. One of the IP's was also home ported out of Rock Hall and we plan to hook up with them in a year or two when we base out of the Chesapeake Bay again.
