Finally catching up.

Posted by – April 14, 2010

We got our taxes done and put our student loans off for a while today. We picked the car up and brought it over to the anchorage. We stocked up on supplies while we were out. The toll is $4 to get out here and groceries are crazy-expensive. The car’s full of stuff that we need to put on consignment but that can wait a few days. We got some website work done as well, both for clients and a bit here. The site’s slowly improving. Hopefully we’ll have a few down days now that we’re caught up on our non boat obligations.

The dinghy outboard needs attention tomorrow and I have to hook up a solar panel that we finally found a proper connector for. Our neighbour, Billy, let us borrow a couple
Pardey books
so we have some reading to get into.

Either this epoxy is getting to me or I picked up some swine flu.

That’s not me. I went for ostriches as a kid.

No-see-ums are so bad here. What else to do? Shots and laundry!

40% deet doesn’t even help that much. That stuff is for sure toxic though. It burns when you spray it on your skin sometimes. But, it’s better than being eaten alive by tiny bugs that throw up acid on you.

How real cruisers change oil.
