Back to "the Hard Life"


The time had come to take the boat back to it's berth "on the hard" to escape hot weather and hurricane season. We wanted to get back to the marina while there was a break in the heat, and we arrived at Jennings Boatyard just in time for several days of beautiful cooler weather.

We set up our sewing shop under the shade tree to add some finishing touches to our boat cover, and John added grommets to complete it.  Hope it fits!


While waiting for Alexandra to be hauled out, John found time to replace some pipes, add new bathroom faucets, and he even installed a new head! 



Soon, Alexandra was back to her spot in the boatyard, and it was time to cover the boat for the summer. The new cover pieces fit pretty good, but we decided we will add some "skirts" to the bottom edge, as they were not as long as we would like. Something to do when we get back later this fall to re-do the bottom paint and other odd jobs needed before our next extended cruise.


Goodbye for a little while, Alexandra. We'll see you later on.
