Capt. note

Well I'm back in Coconut Grove, FL. For those yachties out there who wonder about what I do when I'm not chartering, here is what I have been doing since the day after my return from the Bahamas.
Removed the high pressure fuel control of the starboard engine and sent it out to the lab for rebuild, installed a new microwave/convection oven, installed five new mattress, ten new pillows, replacing all four 12vdc distribution panels and one 120 vac, ordered a new stack pack sail cover, installed a new inner forestay, installed one new Magma gas grill, installed 15 new roll stops and gaskets to port lights and hatches. I will try to complete the remodeling of the navigating station and install a new radar before leaving for Nassau Wednesday.
That's how I spent my days off, about sixty hours and money, about $8,000. It's all kind of normal Captain stuff.
After my next charter in the Bahamas I have a real week off. I will be the guest of my dentist and his wife, Ross and Debra Nash at an island resort near Hilton Head, NC. It's so nice to have such good friends but it presents a problem. Amongst "live-aboard sailors" such as myself, semi-formal dress code is considered to be deck shoes and shorts and for formal we add socks, I think I have a problem. Add to that, in the back of my mind, wait I better say in the very front of my mind, I was thinking the resort might be an excellent opportunity for me to meet a lady but then they probably have requirements we live-aboards don't know or have forgotten. Sometimes it's hard to be a sailor. Maybe I should vary the way I dress each day; say one day deck shoes and shorts, the next day Tevas and shorts, or maybe I should consult with a land person. If you have any suggestions let me know.
