I had originally planned on heading out today, but the winds for tomorrow are a lot lower, which will make my first test sail after getting Zanshin from storage and with the new rudder repairs in place a lot less stressful. In addition, I needed to get some spare parts (impellers at Parts & Power) plus go shopping at the big Riteway in town and I knew I couldn’t get all of that finished before checkout time from marina, which is high noon.
Shopping was an expensive proposition, since I had to get all the little items such as spices and condiments and also went a bit overboard for meat shopping – a couple of huge filets, T-Bone steaks and ribeyes. I should have eaten before going shopping, but I think I still would have opted for the meats since the cuts were excellent and portions Texas-sized.
I finally got the boat sorted out below decks with everything cleaned and stowed away. I opted to postpone doing the impellers on the main engine and generator since I wasn’t sure that I could finish in time. My last meal was to have been at Peg Leg’s that night, but in the end I made some cheese sandwiches with the baguette I’d purchased and that was more than enough food.
