Bottom work completed by Indiantown. (price out Trinidad paint sometime...oh why bother....here you go...$380 a gallon), new zincs, cleaned and polished (she's like a mirror again!) and in the water.
The weather has gone from cool evenings and comfy days....to hot and sticky with 98% humidity. In the water = AIR CONDITIONING on the boat! If we were still in the yard...NO A/C. ouch! Today (Nov 30) we awoke to 49F and furnaces running instead of A/C.
It has not been ALL work....a bit of play too.

| THANKSGIVING CELEBRATIONS - 4 days of food, fun and entertainment...all provided by Indiantown Marina |
We took a fabulous break from our long list of things to accomplish before we depart, and visited our great friends Julie and Roland....also the previous owners of Pelican Rose (Sea Dog). As expected, the usual laughter and tipping of glasses with multiple reasons for endless toasting.

We are working all day, every day on our 'to do' list.
December 11th - back to Canada for Peter's next PSA test, Christmas and Solstice celebrations with family and friends (four grandkids to visit....Carter, Aimee, Addie, Zariah)....
December 29th - our condo sale closes. (we only have a bed and a few odd clothes left there now)
December 31 - head south again via Toronto Driveaway in a new Mercedes.
The plan is to board the boat and immediately depart south to Lake Worth, cross to the Bahamas....and sit our butts down for a long awaited stint of rest and relaxation. Books, rum, swimming, sleeping, skyping.
Ahhh yes...finally...the sweet sounds of retirement!
