Up at 7:30 or so, then after breakfast off to the bus and church. Then lunch with the usual crowd.

We did some shopping on the way back to the boat. Then the pool and happy hour.

After dinner a card game, since we don’t keep score anymore (we are both too competitive) it’s a more relaxed play of cards.

Then some chatting, showers and bed.

Tomorrow we plan to turn the boat around and pull the anchor chain out and wash it.

Up at 7:30 Breakfast, read the Bible, and listen to the net. Then Reneé took the clothes to the laundromat. I started the water maker to fill the tank. John’s helpers showed up at about 9 and started work on pulling more wires.

 

Up at 7:30 or so. Breakfast and the net, bible reading. Then John Pounder and company are due here at 9 to continue working on the wiring.

They worked until about 4 pm. Then Reneé worked on making bread. About that time the generator guy showed up and started working on the generator. We will see if he can make any progress.

It rained last night, complete with thunder and lightening at 2:30 this morning. This afternoon it is hot. 92 degrees and 64% humidity outside. 82 degrees and 40% humidity in the boat.

We walked to the pool at about 7 pm, that being about what time we got done with dinner and needing to get off the boat. Then after a dip in the pool we talked to our mom’s then walked the beach and back to the boat. Showers and bed.

Up at 7, breakfast and the net, then Reneé headed off to Refuge of Hope to listen to the kids read or do help with math (today was math).

John Pounder and his two helpers were here most of the day installing the solar controllers and running wire (lots of wire!). John Identified that three antenna’s need longer stand pipes to get them up at least even with the panels. So, I called the welder and he sent two guys down and they will have the extensions ready by tomorrow. One step closer, John and company will be back tomorrow.

Reneé had issues with a big dog on the route to/from the Refuge of Hope last week, so she found an alternate route to avoid the dog this week and will continue to use this new route.

We have made a little progress on the generator front, I called Opequimar boat yard and they put me in touch with a guy who works on generators. He is out of town this week on a family matter, but I am supposed to call him Monday and get onto his calendar to come take a look and see what he can do.

I have called the boat company about the dinghy several times about getting the documentation taken care of on the dinghy. Today they were going to get it done today! We will see. I have high hopes, but am also prepared to be frustrated.

Up a bit late, breakfast and get organized, then off to the Bible study and pool party.

We played a new card game called sticks.

Then back to the boat.

This seems like a really “lite” day, but it was actually pretty busy. Just no real details to put here.
