The plan for today is to clean the through hulls from the outside. IF we see the guys that will clean the bottom of the boat (sand it in preparation for bottom pain) we will talk to them about what we are looking for.
Well, I got a picture from Salvador of the guys sanding the bottom of our boat! This was at 0747, we typically get up by 7 and to the boat by 9. We are retired after all.
So, the cleaning of through hulls will wait.
We worked on planning the trip to see Steve and Denny Pepper. We will take a shuttle from here at about 0930 and get to Phoenix by 2 or 3 (maybe?) then get an Uber to the car rental in Scottsdale, then a quick trip to Costco, then a hotel for Friday night. In the morning a trip to Sam’s Club then up to see Steve and Denny. Arriving Saturday afternoon (they are in San Carlos Mexico, preparing their boat S/V Brendan for sale) we will stay with them until Monday morning and then take the rental car back and get an Uber to the pickup point for the shuttle. Steve and Denny live north of Phoenix near Sedona. About 2 hours drive from where we pick up the rental car, but they won’t get home until Friday night.
Tuesday next week will be paint day, and back in the water on Wednesday! We have arranged for an end tie at the Safe Marina (where we have an apartment) so it will be fairly easy to get our stuff back on the boat.
