Hot lazy day!
Saturday: We were working on the boat most of the day. Dave also took a nap, since he’s not sleeping great with his toothaches. Seems like there is always something that can be tinkered with. About 5:00, I decided I wasn’t going to cook anything for the potluck tonight. It was 88 degrees. I threw together a great salad. We needed to get rid of our fresh vegetables if we were leaving on Wednesday. We always enjoy the potluck. We get to visit with other sailors and always learn something new. There was only one guy singing at the open jam, but he sang a lot of songs from the 70’s and we loved it.
Sunday: I was able to ride to church with my other catholic friends this morning. Then we sat and made a list of what we needed to do before we leave the boat. We haven’t left it for more than a night since we started living on it. To be able to leave your boat in this marina, we have to give them the name of someone that will watch our boat for us. We asked a neighboring boat. Then Dave asked a second boat to watch the first boat, because he knows the guy on the first boat wants our anchor :) We still have to pay the same thing as if we were here using the facilities. Bummer.
Dave spent most of the day working on our forward head. We have started a maintenance routine to break up salt crystals and lubricate the fittings. Well, something must have distorted a fitting as the salt crystals worked loose. Dave had the unpleasant job of removing the fittings and repairing things. If this doesn’t take care of the problem, he will have to replace some parts.
It was only in the low 80’s today, but still a little warm to cook on the boat. We had wanted to make meatloaf, so we decided to try it on the grill. We wrapped it in two different foil packets. And we put potatoes in foil, too. We have a new grill, so we are cooking things by trial and error. There is a shelf in the grill. So the top shelf wa3, 4, 5s fine and the lower level was a little overcooked, but edible. Live and learn.
Monday: Today, we realized his repair on the head was not sufficient. You don’t want to know how we knew. We have replacement parts, but Dave is going to pick up new parts while we have access to them at a West Marine store. Then he will still have the replacement parts for a future repair. Sounds like that is the life of marine heads, especially in salt water.
Today, Dave worked on the dinghy. Our bench seat has started to wear on the inflatable sides, so Dave beefed up those areas. He added some “fins” to the outboard motor to help it plane better. He mounted navigational lights. So far we have been holding our white light after dark. But it actually seems more dangerous because you can’t see behind you because of the blinding light. And he is always trying to clean off the outboard motor. The barnacles are endless.
We spent part of the afternoon in the marina using the wifi. We also had to line up some things with the marina before we could leave the boat. And we took advantage of using the showers on land.
We ran into our friends Thomas and Renata from Lithuania. We gave him a flash drive to download the videos he had of Pete singing at the jam session while he was here. Maybe I will learn how to attach a video to the blog.

May 2, 2014 Town Day
Growing up in a small town on the prairie of South Dakota, Wednesday was the day the farmers came to town. That was the day of the livestock auction. So they would do their shopping, too. As a lifeguard, I remember Wednesday as “country kids” day at the pool. We gave swimming lessons to them for the first half of the afternoon, then it was open swim for them. I guess the “city kids” were too wild and might intimidate those “shy country kids”.
This Friday is the second time we have made a day of being on land. There is a luncheon for the Seven Seas Sailing Association at a restaurant about a half mile away. It’s not a structured meeting. It’s just a nice way to visit with other sailors. We met a nice couple from Charleston, SC. We want to go there, but weren’t sure what to do when you arrive by boat. So they gave us some great information.
Afterwards, we planned to walk another half mile to the grocery store, pharmacy and K Mart. A couple were leaving the restaurant by car and offered us a ride. Since the temp and humidity were about equal-in the 80’s-we took them up on their offer. After shopping, we saw another couple from the marina we knew and asked if they wanted to share a taxi on the way back. They actually had borrowed a car from a friend, so offered us a ride back. We could use the exercise, but we were carrying meat in a thermal bag but no ice on it.
This morning, we decided to call the endodontist in Key Largo to set up Dave’s appointment to retreat his molar root canal. It was feeling worse, and we didn’t know how far out they would be booked. He was able to get in by Wednesday, May 7, but we were shocked at how much it was going to cost. This dentist has an office in Key Largo and Miami. So I guess we are paying Miami prices. We started brain storming about having the work done in Minnesota by a dentist we know and trust and being able to see family in the same trip for about the same amount of money. I called the office in MN, and I was right.
So this evening, we made flight arrangements to go back to MN for 10 days. Dave wanted to surprise his mom, but decided to call her. We will be there for Mother’s Day. His family is planning to get together. So we are trying to surprise them. Not sure if his brother and sister are following the blog regularly, so this may tip them off. Now we need to get organized to leave the boat AND dig out some warmer clothes.

Spent the day working on the boat. Dave serviced the generator today. When we bought the boat, the generator had about 50 hours on it. Which is awesome for a used boat that was 7 years old. Dave serviced the generator before we left Alabama, since he didn’t know what the previous owner had done for maintenance. Now there are 140 hours on the generator. And since we recently had problems with it, he decided to service it today. The new service kit he ordered will be for the next time he services it, which he plans to do every 100 hours.
Servicing the generator means he changed the oil, water and air filters, changed the oil and added coolant In addition, he checks all the hoses and belts and looks for any leaks. Actually he did that part when he was trouble shooting when it stopped a few days ago.
I spent the day cleaning. What a change from the past 25 years. It’s amazing how dust clings to the walls of the boat. It’s probably because of the humidity. I was told that a high percentage of dust is dead skin cells. And since the walls of my bedroom are right at the edge of my bed, I notice it more here than in a house.
In the afternoon, I loaded up laundry and my computer and the garbage and went to shore for a few hours. Boy talk about humidity! The laundromat has two doors and gets a nice cross breeze. But near the end when you are pulling out hot clothes and folding them, it can get pretty bad. Once you are back at the boat, you have a nice breeze again and life is good. In the Marina, there is an actual mooring ball mounted on the wall. I thought it was interesting to see how they are stabilized under the water. So I included a photo of it for other people to see what a mooring ball is like. Our boat is tied to the free end.
We were able to pick up some avocados this week, so thought it was time for tacos. Sitting in the cockpit after dinner, two guys from 2 neighboring boats stopped by and talked for a while on their way to a local bar by boat, Dockside. One of them was about 30 and had worked on Tall Ships for awhile. He was on a replica of the Nina. They help move the boat and help with maintenance. Then at ports, they help give tours. We thought that sounded like something our son, Pete, should do. Eric met Pete when he was here and thought he would fit right in and even said he would give him a recommendation. OR maybe it’s something Dave and I could do to help pay for Dave’s dental work :)

April 30, 2014 Generator and tooth mysteries
Since Dave was the driver of our rental car, he had to get up to return it. He took off about 8:00 and was able to get in the Enterprise shuttle right away. So he was back before 9:00.
Dave slept through the night, but when I questioned him further, he really was suffering with his toothache. He started working on the generator, while I composed an e-mail to go along with the x-rays I was forwarding to the dentist in Big Pine Key.
He was able to get the generator running. First he checked all the liquids and the belts and hoses. He jumped the coolant switch and it started working. Then it continued to start when he tried it a couple more times. But he called the company to verify a few things. They said it could still fail in the future. So he ordered a service kit and the 2 switches to replace them if needed. Since we are going to be here awhile with dental treatment, he will service the generator before leaving for the Bahamas. We use the generator in the mornings to make coffee (tried instant but had to get a small coffee maker) and to make water, heat water and charge any electronics.
As soon as the dental office received my e-mail with the x-rays and a little more history, they called and offered an appointment at 1:15 today. It was 12:00, so Dave took a quick shower. We hopped in the dinghy and called a taxi to go the 20 miles to Big Pine Key at $2/mile.
We really liked the office of Dr. Charles Troxel in Big Pine Key. He adjusted Dave’s bite, but if it doesn’t feel better, he will need a root canal on the upper tooth. The lower one that is bothering him had already had a root canal. So we are sending for his x-rays from South Dakota to compare with today’s. If it needs to be retreated, he will have to see an Endodontist in Key Largo that is only there on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So looks like we will be in Marathon a while longer.
We were able to take the bus back to Marathon for $4 each. We will plan to do that when Dave has a scheduled appointment. The bus stop isn’t too far from the dental office. But I will try to remember a hat and a water bottle next time.
Back at Marathon, we decided to stop at the great happy hour across the street. I had a couple $1.50 pints while Dave had water with no ice. Their happy hour appetizers are awesome. Chicken wings, salmon sushi roll and raw tuna.
A little later, back at the boat, we pulled out the chicken we planned to grill on Monday and had to throw it away. What a shame. But cereal was sounding better anyway.

April 29, 2014 Pete's departure
We all went to shore about 8:30am. Pete and I took showers at the marina while Dave went to pick up the rental car (by taxi). We chose Enterprise because they will pick you up, but only if you aren’t in a hurry. They coordinate several pick ups. Dave picked us up by about 9:30 and we went out for breakfast in Marathon at the Wooden Spoon. Our waitress gave us a recommendation for a dentist in Big Pine Key, 20 miles south and west of here. We hadn’t heard anything positive about the dentists on Marathon, so decided it would be worth the effort to get there.
We arrived at the airport with time to spare, so we parked and went in with Pete. It’s so hard to say good-bye in the unloading zone. We sure enjoyed his visit and can’t wait to have him join us again. He really enjoyed the relaxation and the warm weather and our company.
Part way back, we stopped for a late lunch and a trip to Walmart. Just needed a few items we couldn’t find at the local K-Mart. We also called 2 dentists to make Dave an appointment. The one 20 miles away couldn’t see him until Tuesday, May 6. But we made the appointment anyway. Then we called one in Marathon and got a recording. Most of the clinics in Marathon are here only part time, or are government clinics.
We made a stop at the grocery store, since we had a car. We have plenty of dry goods. We just like to replenish our fruits, vegetables, meats and breads when we have a chance.
Back at the marina, there were 2 manatees at our dinghy dock again. Another guy with a dog was able to pet one and his dog was excited to check him out, too. Great photos. Leaving the dock, we noticed 2 policemen checking out the area. Later at our boat, we saw the 2 policemen going through the marina on the boat that pumps out our heads. Actually looked kind of silly. Then another law enforcement boat joined them with 2 people from the Sheriff’s office. They came back and stopped near our boat to talk to each other. Dave overheard that there had been a stabbing. So that added a little excitement to our evening.
Dave ended up having to take a strong pain med to sleep tonight. May have to contact the dental office again and whine some more. I think I’ve heard all those tricks.

April 28, 2014 Bad things happen in 3's
My mother always said “bad things happen in three’s”. Well this was one of those Mondays.
We wanted to spend a day out on the water sailing with Pete. We ate leftover egg dishes for breakfast and opened one of our cans of bread for Pete to try. It is a sweet bread, so was good for breakfast.
We headed out of the harbor about 11:30am. We motored about 3-4 miles south because of the direction of the wind. Then we put up our spinnaker. We’ve only used it once before, so we wanted the practice while we had another hand on the boat. We also tried using the whisker pole, which attaches to the mast and to a corner of the sail and holds the sail out away from the boat. It is very helpful if the wind is directly behind you. But it was too squirrelly with the pole, so we will probably only use it with the genniker sail (the forward sail).
Using the spinnaker, we moved north towards the seven mile bridge. We decided to go under the bridge (motoring) and anchor on the other side in shallow water to grill chicken. Once we were on the south side, we realized that the depths varied a lot. So we decided to anchor just north of the channel under the bridge where we knew the depth. This was about 3:00pm.
With Pete at the helm, I was able to go forward with Dave and learn how to anchor with this boat. Once we dropped the anchor, it wouldn’t set. We were dragging it along the bottom. So we decided to pull up the anchor and move elsewhere. Once we got the anchor up to the boat, we saw that we had snagged a line. Dave thought it was another anchor line, but later decided it was from a crab pot.
There was a current moving south, back towards the bridge and out to sea, since it was approaching low tide. So we had Pete keep us in gear moving north away from the bridge and another fishing boat. Dave climbed out over the bow and cut the line free from our anchor. Immediately after it was free, we heard a clunk clunk and Pete took the motor out of gear. We set the anchor again and headed back to check out our worst fear.
Bad thing #1: the line followed the current under our boat and wrapped around our prop. Dave got on his swimsuit, mask, fins and snorkel and went in to check it out. Dave has a deadly looking blade just for this purpose. The current was so strong that he couldn’t swim forward to reach the prop. The blade was made to fit the poles we use for fending off other boats or pilings. That gave him about 5 feet of extra length. So he went back under, hanging on to our swim ladder with one arm and reaching to cut the line with the other hand.
Pete and I discussed how we would quickly release the dinghy to go after him, if he lost his hold on the ladder. We also tied a dock line to the side of the boat and let it trail backwards in the current. Maybe he would be able to grab it as he went by. We also were waiting for a shark to come check him out, since we had seen them in this area last week from the bridge.
He was able to get it cut away in about 20 minutes, seemed like an hour. There was also a piece attached to our keel that Dave released before started our engine again. We decided to just get back to the marina and grill once we were back safe and sound.
On the way back, we shared a large apple to hold us over. Bad thing #2: Dave started to get a toothache. He had a filling done in March that had continued to bother him, but now he was also having pain on the lower right. Guess we will have to deal with this before leaving for the Bahamas.
When we were safely back in the marina, we all decided Pizza sounded pretty good. So we went to the place across the highway that wasn’t open last night. On the way back to the boat, I made Dave go by a neighboring boat to take a family picture of us. Then back at the boat, I gave Pete a haircut. He wanted his head shaved and wished he had done it earlier in the week. This was the first time I have shaved a head and I didn't nick him, so I guess I did ok.
Back at the boat, Dave decided to run our generator for power while Pete and I downloaded pictures to his computer and let him charge things before leaving. Bad thing #3: the generator just stopped working. We tried starting it again, but no luck.
Dave decided to take a shower and call it a day. Pete and I sat outside in the great breeze and visited on his last evening. We watched some great lightening action off to the south. And we heard a neighbor come home in the dark singing “show me the way to go home. I’m tired and I want to go to bed. Had a little drink about and hour ago, and it went right to my head.” We watched to be sure he made it into his boat OK. It’s a single guy about 30 years old. Dave can’t wait until the next time he talks to him. He’s going to start humming that song and see how he reacts.

April 27, 2014 Lazy Sunday
Seems like I have used that title before. I was up early enough to listen to the Cruiser’s net at 9:00, then get ready for church at 11:00. I left the boat shortly after 10:00am and the guys were just waking up. What a life!
After church, Dave and Pete had lunch ready on the boat. A neighbor needed help with a project, so we hung out for a while, then decided Pete and I may as well be on shore doing laundry and spend time using the wifi.
After that, we thought we’d go to a local pizza place for dinner. But they weren’t open on Sundays. So we went back to the boat and had leftovers, which were awesome. With such a small refrigerator, I am always tickled to get leftovers out of the refrigerator. We enjoyed the evening in the cockpit with a nice breeze and brainstormed about Pete’s future. It was a great night.
