    Well she's back in the water at the dock. I did one more swap of the oil and there was no water at all in it.. that's the end of this saga. To be continued whenever the next thing pops up! 
    That would be next week
    Well that only took 24 hours.  We've gotten TONS of rain lately...inches and inches.. went to lay down, mattress soaked. Fans/heaters/ac on blast got the carpet dry in a couple hours,  traced the water, looks like it was the Stbd side windshield screws, well one of them at least. Was up at 8am re-caulking the screws. New foam mattress on the way. Can't wait for the dry season. I swear between Dec and June it didn't rain for at least 3 months

    Still...you can go swimming in the water today.


    Out high temp today is almost 80 but the water has already dropped into the 70s making it useless for swimming
    Ha. Ha. Ha. We're lucky if Lake Michigan hits 70 during the summer. When my son was in last week helping put the boat away he jumped in for a quick swim. Water temp was 61F. About normal for us around here.
    The water was 84 last weekend... felt "cool" after dealing with 93 degree water all summer!!

    The keys weather is perfect but late winter the water gets a little chilly.
