This morning, we got the verdict on the stabilizers. It will be 2 weeks on boat yard, instead of one. Major problem, but like most things on the boat, it is nothing money can’t fix. We hoped the stabilizers would only need tuning up but we weren’t so lucky. The work added a week to our game plan, which obviously put us a week behind where we hoped to be: The Keys, in Marathon.
After much debate with what to do with the extra week, we touched base with Steve and Susie, already in Marathon. They talked us into coming there and hanging with them for a week. So Wednesday morning, we rented a car and drove south. We spent the better part of the week with them, enjoying the food and drink and pool. It was nice to be in the warm weather.
We hung out with Steve and Susie at Marlin Bay Marina while our boat was being worked on.
Some things had changed at the marina where we were last year when Covid hit, but the beauty had not changed.
