We arrived at the boat at 3am on the 29th, and have worked steadily since then to get her cleaned up and in the water. After changing all fuel filters and the oil, the engine starts and runs. The bilge pump is functioning. Alot of things are "frozen" but with application after application of WD-40 things are freeing up. The weather has been incomparably gorgeous - mid to high 70's and sunny with a light breeze and scattered clouds. We are SO happy to be out in the sun that the hard work and long walks to town to provision are a joy. We intend to leave the marina today and anchor in the Manatee Pocket as the lovely South Anchorage in Stuart is presently closed and won't re-open until January 15th. It's wonderful to be back in Florida, and in the sun for the first of the year.
