The Tropical Tip...

The Eagle has landed... umm, make that: the Love Shack has arrived. We are safely down in the Tropical Tip. Not planning to move out of the Love Shack, but we did check out the house after getting set up... house is OK, the dock needed a couple planks replaced. Apparently the surge from that last hurricane came up further than we heard. A quick trip to the lumber yard, then got out the skill saw and drill... now, the dock is OK, too. I'll go over the exterior closer and Joan will get the inside thoroughly looked over in the next day or so. One must establish priorities... and Wild Blue needs to come out of her indoor storage.

After our cool summer and low humidity in the Tetons, I was beginning to think I forgot how to sweat... I was wrong. Like riding a bike, it comes back to you. In buckets. It was late afternoon and our dock faces west; leaving me to get that repair done in the blazing sun. They were calling for "low humidity" here today, I guess that's a relative thing. Get it? Relative humidity. Joking aside, I was sweating like a farm animal. Thank goodness for air conditioning!

One of us already has some "projects" in mind for around the house. The other of us has boating on his mind. And I'm guessing the boat is going to need some "projects" after sitting on the hard for nearly 6 months. Yep, priorities.

Another tailwind most of the day today; double digit MPGs again. Palm trees (ours need to be trimmed ) and a sea breeze greeted us as we pulled in. No fall colors, this place is green year 'round. It's summer time again!
