Oh, how sweet it is!

Well I got back to the boat last week and how sweet it is. Tonight I am sitting on the flybridge while typing this. We just watched a beautiful sunset and I am sitting here listening to Pandora (Internet music) enjoying the evening wondering why everyone doesn't do this (but happy they don't). You can tell it is summer. The moorings around us are empty. We do not have another boat within 500 feet of us. This is one reason we enjoy living on a mooring verses being in a marina. At a marina there would be another boat literally 4 feet away from us and the AC would be running 24/7. Being on a mooring means the boat always points into the wind which results  in a much cooler boat.

Los Angeles has beautiful weather and the pacific ocean but that is all it has. I am so glad to be back in the Keys. I rested about 3 days and then started doing some engine maintenance. I am changing all the cooling hoses, water pump, transmission hoses, and a variety of other odd jobs. Hopefully I will be done in the next couple of days.

I like how there are little clouds in front of the bigger clouds.

As you can see the harbor is pretty empty.

A beautiful evening from the flybridge.
