Monday Blues

Woke up to the sound of rain. It was dreary most of the day, rainy off and on and just not too cheery, We started by searching for the part number and somewhere to get replacements for the 3 of the 9 swivel halogen lights that are not working. The manufacturer told us they no longer make them. We looked for similar ones and they ranged from $80 to $200 a piece. We got two of the 3 that would not work to work but the other 1 is dead. Not sure what we are going to do but they have a hole in the wall that needs filled and we really would like functioning lights.

That was about what we accomplished today. We neither felt great. The weather really affects my mood and Lee was in the dumps too. Hopefully tomorrow will be better all around. We both finished books and we found a used book store we think we can get to by trolley maybe we can look into that tomorrow.

The nearest thing to excitement was an emergency boat with blue light flashing pulling up to the catamaran next to us for an apparent medical emergency.

The mooring ball we are tied to is about 18 inches in diameter.  As the boat swings with the current, wind and tide the ball bangs against the side of the boat and sound like it is doing tremendous damage to the boat.  Hope not!
