Pulling anchors out of the "muck"

So, when you pull anchors out of the muck that you have had down there for a year or two I wonder what it looks like? You have probably asked yourself that question repeatedly haven't you??

Well, I am here to show you.




Yes, it smells about as bad as it looks too. Since we are tying the boat up in PUerto Del Rey, Fajardo this summer for hurricane season while we go back to North America (by the way, 17 days until then....a countdown), by the time we returned at the end of October, we would not be able to find these anchors they would be too deep. Hence, we had to pull them up and put them in the storage locker. "we" is not quite true as my help was taking pictures of the performance only!





We are finally leaving dock today. The anchors are coming up, the water has been filled, the storage/work shop has been cleaned up, our power cord has been cut away from the power box, and soon we will run free!!

Bazza's boat, Buoy Boat, has already even been hauled and put into storage at Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, we will leave the Bingo Bus for another week or so before hauling it as well.

Off to St Thomas for the weekend, back up to Tortola on Monday for a ton of running around, pick up a few friends for a week next Sunday, and then time to go back to the land of fast food restaurants and fast internet for a few months!

Once again, we have spent 4 straight months on island working our asses off on this boat. And, let's not even talk about the last month...maintenance time every year, I get, well, a little grumpy lets put it that way.

We did most everything we wanted to, we want to change some of our bathroom fixtures and lights this summer, but we will buy them at home and ship them down for next season. We did not get new rain guards done for the cockpit, but you only see the mildew on them when they are down! So, sometime...

We revarnished our cockpit tables which had table epoxy on them this last year which was HORRIBLE and showed water spots each and every time it rained..

OK, I am just babbling now... Happy to have a change!
