FIRST MATE TREATED TO SPA DAY

Image
Ahhh  life just does not get better than this:    pool time complete with a few hours of pampering.  Illaya, our ever so fine hostess at the Yacht Club continues to go over and beyond  the call of her duties.  After travelling to two nearby communities I could not find an appointment to get a little clean up for the wedding on the weekend.  Got some new sandals but the toes were looking pretty rough. LOL   Tanned feet look so  much better with a little paint on them....even The Captain agrees. Providing an air conditioned room, a very gifted estatician that came right to the club I am now displaying pretty toes and hands....................thank you thank you...........now I can get on with my packing.

THANK GOD FOR SISTERS

Incredible day yesterday!    January 06-2013  the diesel decease was cured!!!!              The Captain came up smiling and I glowed with accomplishment as the decks shone after a couple of hours of scrubbing and cleaning.  THE REWARD  did not end there.......we felt so accomplished having a successful day with the end to our challenge of dirty diesel. We retired to the POOL!!! Claes will filter the remaining 20 gallons which he will  pour into the tank and hopefully the new filters will arrive as promised (they did!!) and all is well on board. (He still has to clean his engine room but that is a minor at this point.)  LOL We spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool and then returned to the boat for a lovely fish supper.  It was one of those nice evenings with not too much humidly so both had a great sleep.  Thank You God for the end to the saga................
