Our fun today!!! Rod helped Jim installed the 300 ft of anchor chain they purchased in Ft Lauderdale yesterday!!! What a day! this chain was 300 lbs total. I got good pics!! Ha   Jim has done so much for us since we have been here it was good to finally help him with a chore. I got some good pics to share.

A chilly cool day 60 degrees but there was people on the dock today in shorts if they were sitting in the sun. I had a long sleeve Tshirt on and at times needed a sweatshirt!! 

After the chain instillation was complete, Rod, Paula and I took off on the bicycles for a ride, I was cold most of the ride out on the riverfront, but when we were up in town it was not bad. Nice 5 miles of exercise!!

 We decided on baked Parmesan chicken steamed potatoes, and garlic bread for dinner and then we decided on a game of UNO. AND I WON!!!!!  It was fierce playing!! For a while I thought Paula and I would be sleeping on the couch tonight!! Ha  

Tomorrow is HUMP day!!! The time is going by fast. We are going to Titusville tomorrow to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch and then a trip to Coco Beach to a boat outlet for some more parts to repair our dinghy ( mine and Lexie's Limosine). 

Weather is still suppose to be cold, so a day in the car will be welcomed!!! 75 degree temps are predicted for the weekend!!!! I'm looking forward to that!!!!!

We send our love to all !!!!  Fran and Capn Rod

They laid it all out on the dock first and marked off each 50 ft section!!  See the green, white, and red paint? That way you know how much chain you let out when you are at anchor!!! 

It took 3 guys guys to roll this barrel of 300 lbs of chain up to the front of the boat where the anchor and holding chamber is!!! No easy task!!!!

As 4 people fed it in the chamber we played the song "Working on the Chain Gang" hehe

I found this tree in a yard while riding the bike!! Guess what it is? A dwarf tangelo tree!! This had about the size of half dollars!! Cool HUH !!!!!
