It started raining overnight and continued all day and into the evening.It seemed ironic that it was pouring down water from the sky and yet we had no running water at the marina until early afternoon. When we checked with the service department this morning to let them know we would be gone for a couple of hours, they said they would be moving our boat to a covered slip to make it easier to work on it in the rain – nice! We’ve had the luxury of a covered slip a couple of times on this trip. It keeps the boat cooler when the sun is out and dry when it rains, but I always miss being out in the open with more light coming in.

It is supposed to rain intermittently all night and all day tomorrow. I may have to pull out my sewing machine and work on a couple of sewing projects since we will be stuck on the boat. We had hoped all the work would be done by tomorrow, but our new anchor chain has been delayed in shipping and won’t be here and able to be installed until Monday – we hope. I will definitely have time to do some sewing.

Our big outing this morning was to return the rental car and stop at Walmart to pick up a few things. We were under the mistaken notion that it would stay warm as we headed south, so we didn’t bring enough warm clothing for the very cool weather we’ve encountered – silly us. We each got a couple of long sleeved heavier shirts and I got some socks – how could I have not brought along at least a couple pairs of socks? Did I think I was a Purdue student who wears flip flops even when it’s below freezing???

Again, no photos today. Walmart’s all look the same and rain is difficult to photograph.
