Views from the boat

I thought I'd show a few views from the boat so you can see what the area looks like.

This is our view from the boat to the boat yard. Not many boats in the yard anymore and times are slow, which works out great for us.

This is looking east from the deck of the boat. Yesterday we had this bird visiting and we are not sure what it is, but it's not too afraid of us and will come within a couple feet of us.

This is off the bow, today we have a manatee sleeping. I also think he's waiting to see if he can get some fresh water. I was spraying the deck off and he was looking for the over spray.

Strawberry festival

Every Sunday we try and go some place new, take a break from working on the boat. This Sunday we went to the Strawberry festival. It was first started to help the farmers sell their strawberries. Now it's a big fair, lots and lots of fair food.
 As you can see in the picture they really have growing strawberries down to a science. During the cold weather the farmers used water to keep the berries from the cold. Now Plant City ( that's where the farms are) has big stink holes everywhere. They used so much water they drained the wells and ground water.
I don't know if anyone wants to know this kind of stuff but, I think it is interesting. Kathy:)

Still Working

This is our new windless, the duck tape is covering holes from the old one. We had a professional come in and fill those.



Warren is fiber glassing the block that will bring it to the right height. This is a process that is taking more time then he thought it would. The weather looks like it's going to be in the 70"s this week, so we hope to get a lot done. The 50"s in Alaska is a nice spring day but here it's to BLOODY COLD!!!!!!
