Today we woke up to heavy big fat rain hammering the boat. For the past 4 hours the storm front has been sitting over Stuart and dumping copious amounts of rain on the area. Only good thing about this is the outside of the boat needed washed down and I do believe that that has been accomplished. We have found out that we have some leaks around the boat that we need to attend to that we did not know we had. This is the first time since we left that we have had this much rain and the leaks ensued. We have towels,bowls and pots sitting around to catch the drips. Good day to move things and clean under them. Looked out at the dingy and is is more than half full of water that we need to bail out once the rain stops. the gas can is floating. I was going to take a picture but did not want to get my camera wet. Sounds like it is letting up a little. Was going in to do laundry today maybe I should have just hung it outside and let the rain take care of it. Have heard the weather in the mid west is not so good either. We talked to a few people from St. Louis this week and we heard about the cold. Joe showed me a picture from Facebook a couple days ago of a snowman on someones deck lying down with knives stuck into its wee little chest Caption read "DIE WINTER DIE". It was quit funny actually. I have been asked by a few of the blog followers that I need to write more often all I can say is that I will try. I appreciate all of you who have signed up for the blog and that read it. It is actually fun to share our adventure with all of you.
We have a task for all of you. You know by now that our boat name Draco is the name of a constellation meaning Dragon. We want all of you to give us ideas on what to name our dinghy. We have been having a hard time figuring out a name for it. So if you would like to submit your idea for a name we will pick a winner and you will win a special prize (my choice). So send us your entries.
I will be signing off now will blog later in week. TTFN.

I couldn't stop laughing about the dolphin goosing the ducks in your previous post - hilarious! I guess I'll go ahead and state the obvious name for your dinghy - "Little Dipper" ?
ReplyDeleteIt was better seeing it in person. Good name one to think about.
DeleteI think you should name it "Figment" after the purple dragon featured at the Disney Epcot attraction Journey into Imagination. Especially since your boat is Draco for dragon. Glad you are finally into warmer weather. We just had about a 5 inch snow.
ReplyDeleteexcellent idea we will consider it. Yes it is nice to have shorts on again. It has been a long journey to get here.
DeleteSock-less
ReplyDeleteNow that your in the "sock-less zone" you must continue south "until the butter melts"
ReplyDeletebutter is melting. Eggs are frying.
