Today was one of those days again devoted to getting ready to move. The motor got an oil change and a new filter. I washed down the floor in the boat trying to make him look nicer. I did my laundry because you don’t know if the next facility will have a place to do laundry. Marilee will be happy because I couldn’t find a pony tail thing I really liked so instead I got a haircut. So all is well this evening and everyone is excited again about looking at new water and new experiences. It rained this afternoon and just enough to make the humidity come way up and with it out came the bugs. We have a full load of fuel so if she starts in the morning its away we go across the inlet and up to Jacksonville area somewhere. The thunderstorms predicted for yesterday and today didn’t show up which was fine with me, there is another day, another time for it.
Sitting here in the quiet and listening every hour to the bells which toll in the beautiful Catholic Church here in downtown is wonderful. I think I told you about the construction on the old bridge here, well it goes on day and night. So there is lots of noise but not enough to drown out the critters. The boat next to me last nite and myself hear the constant chatter of something down in the water which sounds a lot like Rice Krispies, with the snap, crackle and pop. Only here we get the snap and crackle no pop. It is like something down in the water is munching on your boat bottom day and night because it never stops. I hope they are enjoying the toxic bottom paint or maybe that is what is attracting them. Maybe they are little bugs from inner space or the ocean since it is so near.
This one tonight will be short because I still have the charts to get ready and it is already nine PM. I must make some decisions for tomorrow and write them down so I don’t forget. It will be the 27th and by the 28th my goal is to be in Fernandina Beach on the Georgia border.
