We had a delicious Mother's Day dinner last night at the Dockside Grill in Vero Beach - very yummy. Ray worked all day on the outside of the boat yesterday without a shirt on, so now has a bad sunburn on his back. I worked all day inside cleaning and organising. But today the boat is being torn apart AGAIN because the bilge pump keeps pumping at frequent intervals, which means we have a leak somewhere. Knowing that all the veteran boaters in the area congregate at the fuel dock and drink free coffee, Ray went there to get expert advice. Most important was to "taste the bilge water" - yuck - but they said you had to do it to know if it is sea or fresh (fresh water leak being better). So he did it and it is not salty so that is good news. Now he has to empty all 3 water tanks, check hoses, etc.
Yesterday we went to the Ft.Pierce farmer's market, where they had a jazz band playing. When we are not cleaning, fixing, organizing, we spend our time going to stores to get "stuff". It is said that boater's live by the 3 W's-Walmart, Walgreens and West Marine. We also love Home Depot and Best Buy. Oh, also Home Goods, TJMaxx and Publix. Enough, we need to set sail soon!
