Sun/Mon here we still are

The weather may be better,( still too windy from the North but sunny and warmer ), but poor Dan is under the weather. We aren't sure what hit him, but he's been laying low all day. Chicken soup for dinner didn't do the trick, I hope more sleep will!

Yesterday we did a short "sea trial" with the new propeller and could definitely tell the difference. We headed out mid afternoon (on a rising tide - a necessity for getting out across the shallows at the entrance to the Port Largo Canal) and were definitely doing at least one knot more in speed even with the engine only at 2200 RPM. That actually was our top RPM, so Dan will be going down under again to adjust the pitch of the prop.

Between yesterday and today I got both Grandma's and our taxes done - hooray - and with the carryover credit from putting in geothermal heat last year, we will be getting everything back! I clicked "send" about 8:30 tonight, what a great relief. Tomorrow we are meeting with a Notary to "close" on refinancing the house - Chase offered us 1/2 % less than we currently are paying with NO costs of any kind, so we jumped, and luckily it is all coming together before we "leave the country!" Next we just need the weather to fall into place. ~~~_/)~~~M&D

My first attempt at macrame - had to keep busy while Dan is sleeping.
