Key West - More provisioning

Exhausting day getting stuff at the marine store and and being a gopher for subs working on the boat. Devante's Dream got new swing doors installed for the companionway which replaced the large single slat door that was a total pain. It had to be pulled out and replaced each time you went down into the cabin. Now they need to be varnished (cetol). They should get four coats but we'll probably only get 2 on before we shove off. Jane said that she will put a few coats on when she in onboard.

I checked the drive shaft bolts yesterday and two of the four where laying in the engine pan again. The engine sub (Andy) came over and looked at it and said that the engine needs to be re-aligned. They'll do that tomorrow.

Bill (my brother inlaw) and his friend Mike fly in tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing them both. And I need the help! Bill just finished up his open water diving certification in Mass. and Mike is already a diver so we should be able to get some good dives in.

The weather has been very strange since I've been here. Blowing around 15-20 out of the east every day. It's supposed to swing around to the south on Saturday. We'll held out as soon as the wind swings around....
