The weather started off sunny but deteriorated as the day progressed. Fortunately, we had a NE wind which gave us a following sea of 1-2 feet. Not as uncomfortable as other conditions might have been. As we neared our destination, it started to pour with visibility less than a quarter mile! Donning our rain gear, and with the radar on, we threaded our way through the islands off of Norwalk. We made it safely to our anchorage under the watchful eye of our captain. The rain stopped shortly after we anchored (wouldn’t you know it)!
After relaxing and watching the news, Lynn started to make dinner. The chicken was half baked when the convection oven stopped working, so she finished it in the oven. After dinner, Jonny, true to his industrious self, managed to remove the microwave/convection oven from its tight space and fix it that very evening! He is truly Lynn’s hero! However, he also discovered a water leak in a closet which might be coming from a saloon window. That will be a bigger problem to solve!
The following morning we were awakened by the coaches of the many rowing crews that practiced in the river where we were anchored.
Jonny spent the entire day with Carol Ann (the buyer), the boat inspector, the seller and the agent. It took a full ten hours for the inspection of that 1989 48 foot Silverton. All the while, Lynn stayed on board Zendo, giving it a much needed cleaning. Fortunately, we had brought Zendo over to the marina for the day which allowed us to have air conditioning. During the afternoon she kept Carol’s son, Jackson, company while they did the sea trails on what turned out to be a very hot day. There were several issues with the boat so it’s not known at this time whether she will move forward with the purchase.
That evening we returned to our anchorage and had a quick and easy dinner. It had been a long day, especially for Jonny!
