| The fun |
So what did we manage to knock out while tied to a dock for two weeks? Other than four doc appointments, final COVID shots for the adults, a few trips to the local skatepark, two awesome days of paintball fun, and lots of WiFi downloads, we:
- picked up tons of mail (and started a passport renewal!)
- waxed the hull of the boat
- started some interior wood care
- updated our spice wall in the galley
- cleaned the bilges
- filled the bilges with Trader Joe’s goodies
- replaced the water heater
- refilled water heater coolant
- changed engine oil & filter
- changed Yanmar and Racor fuel filters
- replaced pre-filters on the water maker
- pickled the water maker
- reinforced the arch connections to the deck with steel backing plates
- lubricated the shaft seal
- inspected the steering system
- topped off battery bank water
- replaced the aft condensate pump
- dewatered the lazerette from the condensate pump failure
- cleaned the engine seawater strainer
- inspected engine impeller
- topped off water/diesel/gas
- laundry, laundry, laundry (it was FREE!)
- filed taxes
- graded schoolwork (JUST KIDDING! Still behind there...)

| A little bit of the work |
There was some shopping and good dining in there as well, along with our Mother’s Day and Illinois fun, but we definitely took advantage of this stop for some maintenance.
Weather is still not great, but we are itching to move along and make some progress north while we watch for a good offshore weather window. We are in reach of St. Mary’s Inlet with a decision to make—inside through Georgia (new and terrifying) or wait almost a week to go outside. Which will it be?
