A no effort weekend

We guess there were some things we should have done this weekend, but we didn't.  Should have checked the fluids in the engines, transmission and v-drives, but we never got around to that.  The weather was great and we just enjoyed being on the boat.

We used our new electric grille on Saturday night and it produced a very good dinner, thanks to Frances superior cooking skills.

On Sunday morning, we decided to clean the new grille before putting it back in our dock box. Disassembly was nothing like what was described in the directions but luckily for us, our friend John T, who has the same grille, had already figured out how to take his apart and he showed us how.

Sunday afternoon, our port-side neighbors, Lou and Janie, took their boat out and Frances had to shoot some pics.  Glad she did because we didn't really document this weekend very well. Nice to see that Four Winns out there being enjoyed.

We got up enough energy to move one of the hooks that holds our wash down brush. We always hated how it never really fit. Now it does. Worked up a sweat on that one.

We're heading out to Block Island in about two weeks and we wanted to make sure we had enough fenders. We're "big fender" people and can't understand how folks get by with those little weenie ones. We carry four small fenders in one of those brackets that bolt to the hand rails at the bow, but our main fenders are PolyForm HTM3s, and we've found that they serve us just fine. They are big (28" long  x 10 inches across) and a little pricey, but great to have on board. In fact, they got us though one minor hurricane.

The boat got two more PolyForm HTM3s for Christmas and while we haven't used them yet, it was now time to pull them out and put some line through them.

We have many other pictures and some video from this weekend but we were sworn to secrecy by our dockmate, Diane. How coluld we say "no" to someone as nice as this?
