New mattress

Yesterday was another big step forward. The new Tempur-Pedic mattress
that we shipped down from the states was cut to fit our bunk and moved
onto the boat. That allowed us to move out of the hotel and spend our
first night on the boat since we returned to Antigua.

So now we've completed two steps of our three step plan. Step 1 was
to get back in the water. step 2 was to move onto the boat, and step
3 will be to get off the dock. Step 3 is waiting on finishing up all
the high water consumption projects (cleaning the boat, washing
clothes, etc.), servicing the outboards so they're ready for another
year, filling the propane tanks, buying gas for the outboards, and
then inflating the dinghy. With luck we'll reach step 3 on Sunday.
