Boy oh boy, the humidity was already 89% when we got up....another "drippy" day on the way. We love keeping up with family and boating friends in their travels thru their daily blog. Beeb and Frank are back on their boat in Cheboygan, MI after a 2-week trip home to NY. Yesterday they had lots of rain and temps in the low 60's. Crazy....
Mark did book work in the morning. A quiet weekend here at Superior - Tom, Michaela, Ruth and Steve all moved on yesterday so back to just us during the week and the owners came last night (Chris, Michael, Dennis and Terry) and then left for Put In Bay. This marina and the owners + Dave (dockmaster) continue to amaze us with their 1st class operation and the things they do to make this place so special. Yesterday 2 gals came from a canvas store and over the top of concrete blocks (big straps hold down the tent), they now have very nice white coverings. Looks so much better. They also have an ice machine so never want for that plus a big box is sitting in the storage building "washing machine" Oh my, wouldn't that be nice! Hopefully a dryer, too 😀
Also while I was in the building working on Flo, a guy was inside with a long brush cleaning the inside padded walls - really? The building is immaculate and we sooo appreciate a nice home for Flo and Big Red during the summer months. Tuesday, the 7th, Catrina will be lifted out at 8:30 AM, so we have a little more than a week to "do our thing" - really nice to just work away "little by little and bit by bit". You would think with 2 tiny homes, we wouldn't have so much stuff???? Well, we do! Ha!!!
Mark needs some days to do inside jobs with this heat, so that's the plan for today. Good news coming for next week with temps in the 70's.!
We went to Coffee Express and shared a chicken salad on croissant with veggies and dip for lunch. I ordered a specialty latte (almond/coconut) and they suggested blending it - sure! WOW....it was delicious!
Mark has been getting some bids for winter jobs on Catrina....new canvas for bimini, wash/wax, fiberglass work, etc.
Spaghetti and salad for supper.
The news has certainly been scary the past few days - praying for our military and the many others who died in the vicious attack in Afghanistan. And their families - reading their stories is heartbreaking. And now Hurricane Ida is roaring towards New Orleans and LA and on the 16th anniversary of Katrina. 🙏🙏🙏
I was texting my friend Jackie tonight. Jackie and her husband Darryl live in Metarie (suburb of New Orleans) and they are currently S L O W L Y moving along in heavy traffic. They haven't made it to Mobile yet and what should been around a 2.5 hr trip is now into hour #7. Oh my.....we were watching the LONG lines evacuating on the weather channel. Orange Beach is their destination for tonight.
Jackie and I were rommates back in 2012 when Ryan and her son William were deployed on the USS Stennis and we were on the Tiger Cruise from Honolulu to San Diego. Ryan and William now both fly for FedEx.
Mark was reading that the economic inpact for Put In Bay and the area will be $10-16 million from the concerts (Bash on the Bay) the past few days! Wow! Wow! Wow!
Still very warm tonight but we enjoyed a dinghy ride and was cooler on the water. Back on land.....stifling with not a leaf stirring!
