Well, we’re in February and Polly came to stay for a while. She has moved out of her place in St Petersburg, rented a home in Tucson, AZ near some of her relatives. She will be leaving for Tucson in early April. She’ll stay will us until then. As she is still a Florida resident she will get her Covid 19 vaccine shots here, before leaving.
As I mentioned in the last blog we had Paget painted up nicely and finally decided to sell her. She sold quickly to a middle-edge couple with children in Miami. The wife’s parents are from Norway and they have at least one antique boat. This couple wanted one to day boat around Miami. It all worked out and they are now the proud owners of Paget.
Carey and I have cleaned up the Nr 2 Apolonia, the 37′ Maxum and we are planning our trip to Virginia and the Chesapeake. We’ll be leaving on 26 April. Now we are planning our trip and doing the necessary check out of Apolonia. And just to make sure Carey can see well, she took care of a cataract issue with her eyes and also had new lenses placed in the eyes. She doesn’t need glasses any more.
It is still slow around here but in our local area people are behaving by wearing masks for the most part and being serious about the Covid virus, even though the news media seems to indicate Florida is miss-behaving. We’re lucky to be in a spot that has reasonable people.
Take care. More to follow as we get ready for the trip north on the boat.
