A bad day on the water...

Crew training on the smaller boat today - 3 people overboard, an incapacitated captain, and two fires onboard... yep, that qualifies as a pretty bad day.  The idea is for none of this to happen, but we have to be prepared.  The training went well.

More boat cleaning - top to bottom.  The owner let me do it.  I say, "let," because the deep cleaning is usually done by first mates.  This boat was grubby, with a capital GRUB.  I started the day out cleaning, took a break for crew training, some maintenance, ran the boat some more, then spent most of the afternoon cleaning.  You could eat off of that boat right now.  You're probably thinking: "Sure, Jim, I bet it's 'guy clean'."  No, this is anybody clean. 

It was an absolutely beautiful day in the San Juans - clear blue sky and temps warm enough that I was a sweat-ball, wearing a turtleneck.

Joan finished up rebedding the hatch on our boat.  She did laundry.  She topped off our fresh water tank.  She grocery shopped... at both stores here.  Cleaned and vacuumed our boat.  And, she rode along with me on this afternoon's shakedown.  What a champ.

Little Izzy was in charge of being cute and looking out the window.  In between naps.  Again.

Whew!
