Day 304, Tuesday April 22nd
We are still in St. Mary’s.
There have been a few calm days now, but we are hoping to be able to
sail so we are delaying. It is a work
day today as the boat needs a good spray down and we have use of fresh
water. Dawson clears out the cockpit so
we can hose it down, then he starts on the deck. Julie hoses down the hull and as always works
away at polishing the stainless. We have
plans of waxing too, but we run out of day. (we will get to it underway in a couple of days).

| Cleaning everything of salt |
The hosing down continues as we also tackle cleaning the
dodger, bimini and enclosure. Once
everything dries Julie then has to polish all the windows as there is lots of
calcium in the water and there are water spots everywhere. Better than salt, but still does not look
spit clean.

| Bruce's birthday |
Today is neighbour Bruce’s birthday so Julie bakes a cake
and invites Ham and Peter from Sarah G as well as Bruce from Mamba for
dinner. Our guest arrive at 5, which
Julie is thankful for as she has declared she will keep cleaning until our
guests arrive so glad when they appeared.
We have an excellent barbeque with chicken. The rest of the meal is green which is good,
green salad, broccoli salad, and fresh green beans. Helps offset all the restaurants we have been
visiting. More evening stories during
coffee as these sailors have a wealth of experience.
Cheers
Julie and Dawson
