We arrived in Marathon - Boot Key Harbor a little after 1:00 pm after an exhilarating sail downwind sail in the Hawk Channel. We don't usually see 10 knots on the gps, but broke that speed several times surfing off waves. Carol really earned her crew stripes today!
There was one dock spot left at the Marathon City Marina and we took it for a month. We are actually docked next to the cruisers lounge and would you believe - a wood shop! I don't plan to build any furniture but we do have a few boat projects to work though in the next month. Mostly we will be dealing with house battery management issues. I will be installing the inverter charger I selected last fall but ran out of time and energy to put in. Also a new high amp alternator and heavy duty wiring for same. And of course we will be putting a couple of coats of varnish on the teak to get her dressed up for Key West in February.
Hope everyone is well and ready for Christmas!
