Plantation Key
Islamorada, FL
I spent a several hours last night up sick instead of sleeping so when morning came and I was mostly better I took a nap. Pretty much slept away the morning. Early afternoon we took a dinghy ride to Bill's house. As we made our way slowly through the canals of houses we came up on 2 big manatees. They were close enough to touch. They did not seem afraid or in a rush to get away from us. They seem such gentle animals. That was the highlight of our day.
I swept up some leaves the blow yesterday scattered around and we moved a pkg he had gotten to a less conspicuous place, and collected his mail. Then we filled up our 2 5gal water jugs and went to get propane since we were not sure we would have enough to get back to the boat. We got the gas tank on the truck filled up while we were at it. We thought Bill might be coming back to the Keys today but did not see him nor have we heard anything from him today. We also stopped at the ATM and got money for entry into the Bahamas. We are not sure if we need to have cash for that.
We returned to the boat and Lee did some cleaning on the water line again. Think it is a never ending task. Most of the water behind the door has dried up and some of the moisture under the freezer is drying to. The drawer still won't go in without sticking tight though. We sprayed soapy water on the connections and tank valve and did not get any bubbles so we think that it is not leaking. Maybe Lee just didn't get it shut tight and it was leaking off. We will continue to watch it. Today was fairly calm and warm and partly sunny. Is this sounding repetitive? Kind of like cold and snowy for the mid and north Atlantic states. Not gloating just making an observation.
