No work this beautiful August weekend. Sure, we had to do some packing and planning but other than that our biggest adventures was to take the boat out and fill it with gas.
We did spend an hour or so fabricating a little booster seat for our forward-facing cam. It was less than stable before and with the front bridge window rolled down, didn't have a really clear view. Our home-made bent aluminum bracket seemed to fix that.
While we were working the bracket, we noticed that the seagulls had targeted our brand new white hatch cover. It has only been on there for a week. We scraped off the fish guts but it is now stained, probably forever. Difficult to see in this photo but the bird shit is definitely there. Amazing how accurate those birds are.
On Sunday, we woke up the engines and went to the fuel dock for some gas. Our gauge showed 1/4 full and that turned out to be fairly close. We took 144.6 gallons in our 205 gallon tank. With that done, we're ready to spend a week at Payne's on Block Island. We leave on Wednesday at 9 am sharp. OK, maybe a little after that but we'll get there weather permitting.
