Weather here today is in the 50's and raining so some of the boat projects are on hold today.  We are in the process of installing a water heater. It will be nice to be able to do dishes without boiling water in the tea kettle. Another project we are working on is a cockpit table, which I am currently putting many layers of varnish on the wood so it will look good for many seasons.   Joe just finished putting a new fuel access hose going to the fuel tank.  When we filled up with fuel the last time we could smell it really bad.  Come to find out the hose was really soft and spoungie was about to break so he replaced that.  There was a lot involved in that project and we had to go ask one of the guys from the harbor to help get it installed as i am still not able to do that much with my arm and hand.
 The arm is getting better, cast is off, doing some therapy to get flexibility and strength back. 
We are planning to move on soon into Florida.  Have to get the water heater in first, we have access to lots of stores here so it is easier to get parts.  We have traveled back and forth to Savannah several times visiting Tim & Morgan.  We have had great fun with them.
I cannot say enough about the quality of people we have met during our travels.  Our new Canadian friends we have met here and all the cruisers.  No people better than a group of sailors. 
We had visitors from CSA for New Years Jim & Ashley came to visit for 4 days.  We took them sailing one day, Ashley was tickled to see the dolphins that came right up to the boat.  Went to Gays Fish Company and bought fresh caught shrimp right off the boats.  It was delicious. We also took a trip to Savannah for Morgans birthday   dinner.  Fun was had by all. It was sad to see them leave.  Always nice to see friends from home.
