New River Downtown Docks (docked)
February 18, 2022
Our dockage is between two bridges so sometimes we get a line of boats waiting for a bridge opening. Today there were five boats lined up. There’s constant communication between boats and bridge tenders. It’s really interesting to listen to the system of warnings and requests on VHF radio.
Lailia needed an oil change. Some major yoga positions are required to complete this -John is amazing at figuring out how to reach everything. I never had to change the oil on any house in which we lived.
There’s a gorgeous breeze tonight so John and I are watching Better Call Saul up in the cockpit rather than sitting in the heat down below. We also get to hear all of the music playing on al of the passing boats. We’ve noticed that it’s usually the small boats playing the loudest music.
We have some more maintenance tasks to complete as we wait for a weather window next week
