Back to the boat

We are back on Kentris, having driven down a few days ago with April, Joey, and our kitty Callie.  Everything was in order as we had expected.  The trip down was not so bad, considering how like sardines we were in the car.  Callie adjusted more easily than we thought she would, which helped considerably. She is now very much at home on the boat.

Yesterday we got out two of the presents we received for Christmas.  First we blew up the shiny new fenders and admired them.  Need to attach lines to them before we can use them but they are looking good!  Next we got out the bosun's chair and hoisted Tom up to the spreaders so he could figure out why the light up there is not working.  Turned out to be just a burned out bulb, so we can replace that easily and send him up again.  The chair worked perfectly and the pockets on the side are great for holding tools you might need while aloft.

The beach at Lauderdale by the Sea

After all that "work" we felt in need of a beach break, so off we went to lay on the beach for a while.  It was very warm with a light breeze.  Perfection. 

Happy hour in the evening with half price drinks and appetizers wasn't bad either.  And the Tarheels beating Miami was a great ending to the day.
