Hooked up the electric, cable tv, and water hose. We're tethered to the dock, and more like campers than cruisers - again. When we turned on the water, all the hose clamps on the water lines leaked, and the carpet got wet - again. Don't know if traveling makes them come loose or maybe winterizing. The white water hose that we connect the boat to the shore water system blew up in the night and was spraying water all over the docks. Fortunately, someone shut it off for us. I guess there was enough water left in it that it froze in the cold weather at home, and leaving pressure on it made it blow out. A trip to West Marine and about $40 fixed that problem.
Got the dinghy together yesterday. It gets harder to pump up every time I do it. Went out to fish just outside the marina and caught some snapper - again.
Put the folding bicycles together, and rode up through the park. Saw a group of Hobie Cats setting up and getting ready for a regatta - again.
So many things are the same as last year, that we thought maybe we should do something to differentiate this year from last. Something that would really turn things around. So I made a daring move, and took the boat out, turned it around, and parked it in our slip pointy end first.
We spent the entire time last year backed into our slip. It's easier to get on and off the boat, but we don't have much of a view off the back porch when we're backed in.
The view out our back door is much better this year.
