| Sunset 6/10/17 Port Ewen, NY |
After being at anchor for 2 days AND checking a LOT of stuff
off the to-do list, we headed to a marina Monday morning. Southern Cross is with us and fully agreed it
was time for solid ground!
Since our return from Fort Worth on May 30 we have been full
speed ahead or I was trying to recover from the “community air syndrome”. Being anchored was a welcomed break from the
go-go-go and allowed us to focus. While
at anchor The Lower Place was cleaned!
White-glove cleaned, fresh sheets, dirty clothes gathered & readied
for the marathon wash exercise on Monday.

Most importantly, we pulled out the large tub of charts,
books, maps & other educational items for our Canadian section of the Great
Loop. It was like Christmas! We now have a defined plan, a big picture to
reference and a whole lot of little stuff to streamline the finer details.
YAY!!! The mystery of “how do we get
there?” and “what do we do when ?” has been answered. Of course, it’s all subject to change due to
weather or other uncontrollable events.
Monday morning we headed to Rondout Marina for the
day/night. It was time to change the
engine oil & filter in both engines and the generator. That’s a full days’ chore especially when
finding transportation to the parts house it the first step. Luckily the owner offered his truck and soon
Charlie was off to buy oil and extra filters.
While he started on that project, I loaded the laundry wagon &
headed to “play quarters” with the washers and dryers. Seven loads later, I was back on the boat…whew! The glamorous life of a boater...the fun never ends!
Upstate New York is having a heat wave – according to the
local weatherman. Upper 90’s today &
Tuesday but 80’s by Friday - yes, it’s HOT!
So the tough decision remains…do we go swimming or just relax on the
boat? Man, Monday’s are tough!!
Whatever you do on this Monday…smile about it-just because
you can!!!
God Bless!
