This boatyard came alive today. There are two guys scraping the bottom. They assured us that today they would finish scraping and start sanding. Jeff put the heat on them and said this boat is going in the water on Monday. When the boat is in the water we will be staying on it and saving the money spent renting rooms. I thought I heard that there are no slips available and we will have to anchor out. Then, we will have to dinghy in to the boatyard shower, etc.
Inside the boat two guys are working on the new refrigeration system. Jeff is hovering around inside and Pete, Joby and I are coming and going. Way too many people are inside at this time so I am back in the room. We didn’t do very much on the boat today. Some of the boats have portable A.C.’s on deck plumbed through hatches to keep the inside of the boat comfortable. It is so hot here, to work inside they keep it cool. Also, you have the option to cool it to keep it from rotting in the tropical sun when it is stored on the hard.
Tonight we all took the dinghy over to another marina for a BBQ dinner. The name of the place was ‘Wheel House Pub’. The sign on the wall speaks for itself.
