Super Bowl minus 1

The UHLA G, bound for the Florida Keys, by way of: wherever & whenever. Seen here departing Jekyll Island marina this morning. Good trip guys, hope to see you in Marathon. Lots of boats here are simply waiting for a weather window to head to points South; some to Panama, some to the Bahamas. At least one boat is from England, one from Canada, one is from Newville, PA. Talk about an international gathering!

Today was a read & repair day. get up, clean up, read a book, eat lunch, take a break; then do some repair stuff. In this case it was more of an improvement. Simply put, I lengthened the water system's pick up tube by almost an inch. That will result in: A. More available water; or B. Less available water as the dirt in the tank jams the pump filter. Ya' makes your choice, and takes your chances; the joy of life! Also took this opportunity to clean up some bare spots and do some touch up painting in the engine room. That lasted until the fumes got obnoxious. I'll get the other side another day . As you can imagine, the planned bike ride & hike on the beach was postponed 'til a calmer, warmer day. Speaking of warmer days, I see from the pictures that some of you sent that there is a lot of snow on the ground in the Northern tier. I also see that more will be arriving mid-week. Did I tell you how thrilled we are about that forecast? Guess how much!
Might hit the beach tomorrow; photo ops and all that. If I elect to post some of those, it is not motivated by cruelty, rather by our wish to share what we see. I won't even gloat, or go on, about the temps they say we'll be experiencing. Anyway, be safe, stay warm and enjoy the winter beauty that surrounds you.
