Stuff to do

On the way north we decide to pull into Dinner Key for a night on the mooring to do laundry and make a run to West Marine.  The traveler line I bought last spring is really lousy so Nati gets a new line.  Also we have tons of laundry so the machines at the marina make it easy.......that is as easy as it can get.

We have slowly begun to replace our old light bulbs with new and efficient LED bulbs.  They are not hot to the touch and use virtually no power.  The new bulb in the cockpit used to use more that one amp and the new bulb uses one tenth of an amp!

One other job is now done also......WE ARE MAKING WATER!!  Yep, the Cape Horn Extreme from Spectra is up and running.  JT, the area rep for Spectra came out to check things out and gave us his blessing for a completed job......now drink up!!

In the meantime......all that south wind has disappeared and we have another front coming through.  Chris Parker says we have a 1 day window to cross.  None of us think a one day window, which has northeast to east winds in the forecast is a window.  So.............here we sit in Miami.  Maybe another run to Alabama Jacks is in order.
