Finishing up!

We've shipped two barrels of boat parts and provisions to Grenada, packed up our checked bag and completed the associated Grenada Customs C-14, frozen the meat that we are taking back with us and made all of our reservations.

I'm finishing up work on an IP-37 freezer rebuild and completing the installation of new overhead hatches on an IP-32.

 Rebuilt interior, divider in place and final fitting of evaporator:

 New dual thermostat panel:

 I'm also finishing up with the remodel on our guest bath now. Time is flying.

Lesley has stocked up on all sorts of puppy paraphernalia for use on our return to Florida in February - I think she even has a few names picked out! 

We are both looking forward to getting back to the boat and spending another (short this time) season in the Caribbean before returning with the boat.

 

The bird!

We've just spent the day in and around Jupiter Inlet Colony and had a nice time.  I caught a glimpse of a very pretty bird and could help but take a photo.

Lesley said that this is a painted bunting.

We also picked up the Exploer Charts for the lower Bahamas and the T&Cs so we should have all the guides and charts we need for this season.

Visited the Tequesta Brewing Company and sampled 6 beers - enjoyed them all and picked up a growler of the German Alt Bier for this evening.

Now it's time to head for the pool.

Fan Nest?

When we left Rock Hall last week the AC fan in the truck would not work.  When we got back to the house I took the fan apart and found this large collection of grass clippings inside the fan squirrel cage.

I cleaned the grass out of the fan and then replaced the fan speed resistor and everything is back to normal.

Heading to Miami

It's that time of the year again - heading to Tropical shipping this morning to drop off our two barrels for shipment to Grenada.  

Unloading the barrels and getting them on a pallet.

From there we will be heading to Jupiter Inlet Colony to visit a friend for a few days.

Taste test or is it liver test?

We are visiting friends in Rick Hall, Md.  We decided to try a a few single malt scotches and also to test our livers.

So far so good!
