Inauguration day

The last 10 days have been pretty hectic. We arrived back in BVI on
Saturday and the crew from Lyman Morse arrived on Sunday. Mon-Thurs
they stayed onboard and attended to a long list of maintenance items.
We're thankful for their visit and all the little things that are now
working so much better.

Friday and Saturday we spent cleaning up the boat and then moved off
the dock (with it's unlimited power and water) and out to a mooring.
Saturday and Sunday we also got a chance to get back into the water,
swimming laps around the boat and also attending to a few underwater
maintenance items like cleaning the heat exchangers for the
refrigerators and scrubbing a little grass off the waterline that
accumulated while we were in California.

Then yesterday we took off to finally explore the BVIs, buddy boat
style, with our friends Bob and Kathy Wellen. After a quick stop in
Road Town for some provisioning, we're now anchored off Norman Island.

Fortunately Bob and Kathy have satellite TV so we're getting ready to
watch the inauguration. We're looking forward to the change!
