Well, they say the best advice to a cruiser is "never have a schedule." In other words, be flexible. And, flexible we are. We're
still hanging out at Herrington Harbor North on the western side of the Chesapeake Bay. AIS (sort of like radar -- google it) is getting installed this week which means the place is pulled apart! Holy smokes.....

| Topsy turvy doesn't even begin to explain what it looks like down here! |
When the floorboards came up, they unearthed 12 years of dirt. I, Miss Non-Mechanical, can clean anything!
 |
| We found a good luck penny from Trinidad in here :) |
 |
| Not spotless, but much better! |
Also on the non-mechanical to-do list was fixing the button on a cushion. I have never seen a sewing needle this large, but by golly, it worked well -- and to think it wasn't even the largest one in the package!

In the last couple days, David found a home for our new
freezer and installed the great Australian
grill off the stern.
 |
| The cockpit lazarette is HUGE and also serves as the new home for the freezer. |
 |
| David has cooked one dinner and one breakfast on the grill and has dubbed it The Fire-breathing Dragon :) |
We're still waiting for the cold front to move through, but for now, we're just having beautiful autumn weather. Somehow, some Lake Michigan sand came along for the ride and fell out of my shoe. Our new
vacuum cleaner is quite comical -- looks and feels like a cheap plastic toy -- but it works great! It was a whopping $19.99. If the Easy Bake Oven had a mate, it would be this vacuum.
 |
| Hilarious, tiny vacuum. |
