Not long now-hopefully

Well today has been all about getting the last punch list items taken care of.  First off we loaded the tender on board and strapped it down. Then we started this beast up and motored over the High Seas Fuel Dock to top off the back tanks. 780 gallons of diesel later we motored back to the dock. We spent the next few hours stowing the remaining items that needed be put away and then cleaned the inside of the boat. Washed windows, vacuumed and mopped the floors,and dusted. Then it was off to the store for 280 lbs of ice. Captain Uncle Si always has a glass of ice tea near him....he said it won't be good if he doesn't have ice for his tea! Everybody is off doing their own thing right now. Later we have disaster preparedness briefings and engine room check tours. So hopefully by the end of the weekend we will finally be on our way. Below the first picture is of a friend I meet at the fuel dock. Cheers
