FRIDAY- Today we drive the Neaderthal's car to the Annapolis Sail Boat Show. Our main interest is engaging SeaDream's equipment vendors face-to-face. Personal connections are invaluable when trouble shooting problems.
The past few days were filled with typical boat chores. Wednesday Mike spent the entire day reorganizing the “snake's nest” of under-the-helm electronics wiring. Too bad it hadn't been installed neatly, like SeaDream's main wiring systems! Louie and I, meanwhile, washed the deck, and him! Yesterday, after driving Julie to the airport, we used her car for Home Depot and Walmart runs. Having a car again seemed strange but sure saved our feet. I also visited the Maryland Historical Society to photocopy my great-great-grandfather's ship's roster. Most old documents from that time were lost in a fire but his survived. What a thrill to find it! Last night we drove Bob to the airport. Baltimore is becoming more familiar.
We're off to the boat show now, in beautiful, sunny weather. Louie is looking forward to Hanna (a young woman living in a houseboat on the dock) walking with him while we're gone for the day.
