Today dawned bright and beautiful. It was warmer (in the 50's) and sunny with some pretty strong winds. A good day to do things outside or that require ventilation.
So, after getting the work computer screen mounted and safely out of the way, it was on to more demanding tasks...
Hey! It works! Look at all the pretty tug boats.

The anchor chain was said to be 200 feet. After pulling it all out from the locker and onto the dock (THAT was a workout!), we discovered it's actually 275 feet. And then after pulling off their tape markings (who does that?), we decided on the color system and set to marking lengths.
Shake shake shake! (Our arms were killing us by this point.)
Red, white, blue, and yellow.
Dad was holed up in the anchor locker (no pictures, unfortunately) cleaning it out and prepping to change out the rope harness. Between that and the engine room yesterday, every bony prominence is either bruised or busted!
Meanwhile, Mom was polishing the (very thirsty) teak. It's looking much shinier now! We also cleaned off the power cord since it was looking pretty rough. The Patricia Anne has been getting a top notch cleanup!
Hold the shelf just there...
Oh, and can you hand me a roll of paper towels while you're doing not much?
At rest for the evening.
...And getting some other kinds of work done.
(See the purple fairy lights in the corner?)
