Okay, the floors are down and it’s safe to move (or dance) about the boat. But, lordy, how about that big hole in the roof and ceilings, and how about a galley, and good grief, do you remember all the wires?! Grab your flipflops and let’s get to work. First up, the “soft patch” or large removable “hatchy-thing.” Clean up all the caulk and sealant goo, and then reseal and bolt it back into place. Hopefully to never be used again!
Oh boy, the wires…. We closed up all the other panels ourselves, but when it came to that mess that runs through the galley, we left that to the pros. Well, mostly. Long arms to the rescue!
Remember that comment about “what else?” Well, in a preemptive move, we called in an outboard pro to service the last of the four engines on board and thereby impart additional maintenance knowledge to the captain.
All of this just so we can move. Albeit to another service yard but move we shall! Tomorrow!
Since we all know what they say about all work and no play, we did toss in a bit of fun. With it being such a busy six-day work week (didn’t we retire?), cooking wasn’t first on our minds. So, we hit a local spot “where you can get anything you want…….at Alice’s Restaurant!” A friendly place in Jensen Beach that, among the freshly baked goods that morning, offered jalapeno cheddar bread. Yum-m-m! Had to buy a loaf of that to spice up those packed lunches. 🙂
At Alice’s Restaurant, you cannot, however, have your food delivered by Servie the Robot. For that, you have to go to TooJays Deli/Bakery in Stuart. That’s right, they have a robot that autonomously cruises out of the kitchen and over to your tableside. He/she/it? saves the server time and from carrying a bunch of heavy plates.
More later. For now, it’s time to study routes, charts, and navigational warnings for tomorrow’s three-hour tour. Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale…
