A couple of people have noted that we've been neglecting our blog and that's true, although we have been posting videos. Our summer got a late start but we have been using the boat, perhaps more as a summer home than we have in the past. But the old boat runs just fine and we did use it to visit Mystic Museum a over Labor Day and had a great cruise. A video of that is on You Tube.
Frances' health kept us from using the boat as much as we would have liked but we bought a new set of boarding stairs that is four steps high and that makes it possible for her to get on and off the boat much more easily. Once aboard, she is definitely the "old Frances," cooking up great dinners and talking to all of her neighboring boat buddies.
We know how good Frances' doctors are and how much she respects them but a weekend on the boat seems to be very good medicine for her right now.
Of course, it's fall here so the boat has to go into winter storage soon. You'd think we'd be used to that by now but filling the engines with antifreeze is never fun.
It rained last Saturday but we were in the boat anyway. Sunday was warm and while loading up the car, we took a video tour of our dock. Nothing special but it will be a nice reminder of how much we enjoy the summers on A-dock.
