Since we returned from the cruise things have been slow with no sailing. The tooth they had to remove after I broke it completely off the root system is not healing real wekk so I have not felt much like sailing anyway.  It has been very hot and night sleeping is similar to the tropics and the days equal to or more temperature and humidity.  Summer has arrived finally but we think it will be short lived.

The spiders plugged up the diesel tank air vent again and I need to work on that before we stray to far from port.  Today we checked out a few new places to slip for next year – our marina is raising their fees again and we are being priced out.  That means spending time on the hook and renting a transient slip from time to time or finding a lower scale slip for the same projected cost which is nearly $2500 US.

We will keep you up to date on our experiments.
