Jacksonville

For sheltering in place we are not suffering too bad, this is our marina.
Maggie Jo is in the background in the center of the photo. The
pool is still open but we are not using it.
They even have free laundry which Angie loves.

Maggie Jo at rest, she fits right in. Our friends Sea C Rider
are across from us just a few slips down.  And friends from Sturgeon
Bay, Wisconsin are one dock down from us. This gives us some
safe social distancing opportunities.

Something new to us. The first time I ever saw Spanish Moss
 I thought they should clean it off the trees.
Now I can appreciate it.

It even grows on overhead lines.

Social distance dinghy ride.
Dinghy's from Cedar Falls, IA, Tennessee, and New York.
Angie living the dream.

I "pimped" the dinghy after getting a new outboard.
Added a fire extinguisher and a stainless steel outboard lock.
PS - It still goes about 24 mph solo.
When we bought our boat we named her MAGGIE JO
 after our mothers, Margaret Lyng and Josephine Rusert.
In a coincident, when we open MAGGIE JO's stern door
 most on the letters get covered, so then it spells "MA".

When your spending extra time at a marina without running around the area much it's boat task list time. Changed engine oil, bought more oil from CAT for another change before we get back to the Great Lakes, fixed a deck faucet fresh water leak, updated software for the chart plotters, updated chart plotter maps, updated IPad maps, cleaned bikes, polished some the the  boat, changed zinc anodes under the boat (a diver was near by, so I let him do it, too lazy to drag out my gear in low visibility water), changed or cleaned the eleven engine zinc anodes, dinghy mods.,  and re-routed holding tank vent (fun). Maybe it's time to do some fishing, as in a week or so we will be out of  Florida and into Georgia or I will have to buy another license.
