We will be here at The Wharf over the holidays. The marina has all we need for a long term stayover. The downfall of this location is that no grocery is available anywhere close. You must Uber or rent a car to head to the store. Floating docks make for an easy tide change of about 1 foot too. Lots of Loopers and seaonal boaters here as well. The temps are nice right now with a day high of around 65-70 and a night in the 50s. With those temps comes some humidity though which is not a problem for us as we enjoy the warmth.
The light show has been fun seeing it a few times now and having a glass of wine watching sunsets. We did have some artisan pizza on the patio at Villagio enjoying a couple local craft beers. Unexpected date nights come far and few as we cook onboard most of the time. The sunsets are nice but nothing compares to those mornings on the Tombigbee River.
The pod issue has not disappeared. Scott is going to dive today to clean off the only zincs he didn’t replace on the trim tabs. We is hoping that a coating of fresh water slime since being in the water for 7 months has built up. Then he will check the mercathode system again. Turns out that a button on our joystick has stopped working. So he is looking at a new joystick which will require programming as well. Unfortunately you cannot buy just the button. As we have said boating is just doing boat work in exotic places. It is just the way it is. Still better than shoveling snow. Our girl is getting a bath today as well. I’ll be heading out to give her a really good scrubbing. We have a couple quotes coming in for a wash and polish over the holidays so that she is protected against the UV of Florida and The Bahamas and the salt water.
We won’t be posting as much over the holidays as we all celebrate family and friends. However we may pop in to give any updates.
