After a dozen boats went by I got up. Jim and I checked all the weather sources and agreed - it's bad out there and getting worse. So we'll stay in Morro Bay for another day or two. We'll work on projects.
Jim's installing a high water alarm in the bilge. All the sensors are in, the panel is in, and now he needs power. That means taking apart the side panel, removing the wheel, etc.
I decided I'd tackle the wiper motor that stopped working the other day in high seas. I had a bit of a struggle getting it out, but it looked good inside, so I lubricated it and put it back on.
Meanwhile Jim had torn apart the whole panel. I hope he can put it back!
While we have all these panels off, we might put in new stereo speakers ... But for now 0900 it's Sunday brunchtime.
Scrambled eggs with venison, fried potatoes, avocado and tea. On the back deck in the sunshine.
Looks nice, doesn't it? Well it's quite nippy and breezy and at 0935, the wind is picking up already. We're staying put.
(Time passes while we walk to the store and back)
We put the front stereo speakers into the rear cabin, and installed new speakers in the salon. Everything looks the same but the sound is massively improved.
Time for sandwiches and beer. We take only one bite; one swig and here comes the Harbor Patrol.
Whoops, lunch has to wait. We aren't staying put - we move to a slip since we are staying another night.
After a foggy spell, the sun came out about 1630. We dropped the dinghy in the water and went for a cruise southward into Estero Bay.
We saw huge groups of birds feeding,
and cormorants nesting by the hundreds if not thousands.
Tonight we are having BBQ steak on salad. I'm ready!
Here it comes...
We're drinking ForeFront Pinot from San Luis Obisbo.
And having so much fun that Jim lit the fireplace in the boat! What, your boat doesn't have a wood-burning fireplace? Jason does.
