Repairs Finished!

We (mostly Michael) have finished the repairs and will be leaving the dock tomorrow. Right at the end of putting it back togeather he was missing one bolt, and had to "hitchhike" (he said. he really took the bus) to buy one at a local hardware store. 
A lot of people live on their boats at this marina, and it is not for me. Boat life is a fine adventure with sailing and traveling involved, but as a full time lifestyle, no.
Barb came down for the day, which was fun, and reminded me of how close we actually are from home, a 3 day sail is 2 hours driving. While I was mopping the deck and dipping the mop into the water to rinse it, I attracted the attention of a manatee, hoping for some fresh water. He must have been 8-10 ft. long with scars on his back.
