Thursday, October 21, 2010

Since we are here without a car, we seem to be more focused on things that need to be done on the boat. John installed a new marine radio that has AIS on it. Now we are anxious to see it work as the barges approach us. He and Norm both bought one (I think they were $335 each). The day after ours arrived in the mail, there was a blog on the Active Captain site telling people what a good deal this radio is. Our Captains are pretty smart, huh?

The last few days, I've been sewing. Some of the latches to hold the canvas in place on the back deck had ripped off, so I sewed them back on. I embroidered a jacket for John, made a new cover for the TV on the back deck, and made some "potato bags" like we saw at a craft show.

Sue and I walk every morning for an hour. It's not the same as walking in Florida. For one thing, it's cooler and the biggest difference is it's so hilly here and flat in Florida. We see dozens of deer during our walks. They are so skinny too. There's just too many in too small of a space. They have cottages for rent right along the water's edge. They are only two years old and really nice. A person from the housekeeping staff let us walk through the one she was cleaning. Great place for a sisters' trip (except for how far it is).
