Day 333, Wednesday May 21,   Work, work, work

So the work is beginning to get the boat ship shaped.  We started with cleaning windows and screens in the morning.  Then we got picked up by Enterprise rental to coordinate vehicle pickup.  We rented a small car for a week as Crownsville is not located near much and a car is a must.  When we got tot eh rental place turns out they don’t have the crappy little car we rented for $200 for the week and they upgraded us to a brand new van with leather interior.  Bonus, for us as we can now use the van to store all the stuff we are packing up so that we can get photos without clutter.

First stop is Home depot for bins, and sandpaper, then we are off to the marine store to pickup a new solar vent and a navigation light for the bow.

Once we got back to the boat, which by the way is a beautiful drive, we started sanding the eyebrows of the boat, and the bow pulpit.  Sadly the sawdust from the sanding fell on all the windows we had just cleaned.  A bit frustrating.  Grrrrrrr

Luckily we don’t have a lot of teak as the sanding was hard work, all by hand of course.  We worked until about 5:00 sanding, removing the anchors and cleaning the anchor well, and then headed to town to meet George and Jackie off of Heritage that we had Easter dinner with in Georgia.  George and Jackie are from Sarnia where Julie grew up so kind of neat.

Dinner was at a great local pub, but we were soon back to the boat for an early night.

Cheers
