We will be busy in the next couple of days. First we have to go report to Customs at Fort Pierce airport. We will have to return once the boat is on the hard to hand in the original ownership.
We brought the sails, kayak and fender to the locker. We washed the boat and ran fresh water thru the dinghy motor etc. It was so hot and we just couldn't quench our thirst. We stopped at Publix to pick up St Croix and beer
How ironic that my new friend Debra which I meant in Hope Town was on a dock to our starboard side, She was so surprised to see us and invited us to their boat. We went around 5:00pm and stayed a couple of hours. It was a nice break after working all day.
Finished watching Hatfield and Mc Coy series.
To follow up from yesterday's story, they found the body of the person who jumped off the bridge last night. So sad.April 5, 2018
Steve had to change the oil on the boat motor. What a long process when you have to do it manually. Next year we will have to remember to bring our big evacuator.
Still waiting to hear when we can get hauled out. Such a busy time for them. There is 30 boats waiting to come out. Hopefully, Sally will be able to accommodate us.
I started packing my clothes. I brought WAY TO MUCH clothes. Next year I will only bring 1/4 of it. No need since you end up wearing the same thing and then do laundry once a week.
Went to the laundry mat and washed all the bedding, towels, clothing which most of it will remain in storage.
Steve barbecued hamburger for lunch.
Debra dropped over for a while to see how we were coming along. We talked to Steve's mom at the hospital. She is doing better but still has a long recovery.
We made pizza for dinner.
Another productive day. Steve will go see Sally in the morning to see if the boat can come out.

Looks like the boat is not getting hauled out today so I decided to go to my first Yin Yoga Class today with Debra. It was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. The class was in walking distance to the marina.
We managed to get more packing done in preparation for the haul out. We hate the wait especially when we get a call from my sister who has been supporting Mary, Steve's mom, who is in the hospital. She told me that she called the hospital for an update and they told her she wasn't well at all and that she was failing. So surprised, my sister went to the hospital and found out they gave information on the wrong Mary. We were all so upset by it and it was a very stressful couple of hours to wait for news from my sister at the time. Once we talked to Mary on the phone and told us she wasn't going anywhere with a chuckle, we were so relieved . We loved Crazy Fish restaurant which served Sushi and really like Joey Gilmore Blues Band afterwards.
Debra introduced us to a lot of Canadians who are also in the process of taking out their boat.

Steve and I went to McDonald for our once a year pancake treat. We then went to see Sally about getting hauled out. Looks good for today.
Lots happening around the marina today. When we got back we went to a couple of Markets around the area. Very unique crafts.
