to October 9 - on the water again and home

We waited not in vain.

  • waxed upper section of boat
  • serviced windlass
  • clean anchor chain with fresh water
  • inventoried supplies and parts
  • purchased oil for the entire 2014 cruising season, filter and belts also
  • made new anchor snubber
  • cleaned and polished interior teak
  • cleaned and polished flybridge "windows"
  • met with Adirondack, another Monk, who gave us their itinerary for the Down East Loop.  As we are hoping to do this trip in 2015, it was a wonderful coincidence that we met up.
