Day 52 - Back in the Water
The guys at the boatyard started cleaning and waxing the hull bright and early this morning. By 10:30 the new battery was in and we were looking beautiful again. They lowered us into the water around noon and we were on our way across the bay to Matanzas Marina. When we arrived our slip wasn't ready so they had us tie up to the bulkhead in front of their restaurant. After we secured the lines we went for a swim in the pool. Such a nice way to spend the afternoon after all the work Stan has done on the boat.
We moved the boat to our slip around four...hooked up to shore power and turned on the AC. We've been without it the past few days, not bad at night but very warm in the afternoon. We gave the boat a good scrubbing to get rid of all the dust from the boat yard. Now The Pearl is looking good!
We decided we deserved to eat out after all our hard work. The Matanzas Inn has several restaurants so we decided close was best. The food was very good, we didn't have to walk far and they had live music...not too bad.
It looks like we will have to wait here until the winds lay down. We have to travel the rest of the way to the Keys in the Gulf, so we need calmer seas for that to be comfortable.
All fixed, clean and ready to go
