Got to Stock Island today, and they pulled us out of the water as soon as we arrived. Dock space is at a premium- Race Week starts the 17th, and the boatyard is overrun with business. 'BP money', they told us. So we're fifteen feet in the air, without power, listening to the rain at the moment.
more pix!
Well, when they put you back down go get one of those great blackened fish sanwiches at the seafood market.

It is a wonder your prop was turning, by the way. Joyce has a wetsuit so we are electing her to be official weekly scrubber. Classes given in RI area throughout the summer. Love, Elle
ReplyDeletewe gathered all that stuff on the prop between Bahia Honda and Stock Island- just a few hours! It is MINED with crab pots.
ReplyDeleteI think we've been working on the coral for a while, though.
Where are you living while your boat is out of the water? just curious. love, Elle
ReplyDeletewe're living aboard- it's nice, so far. not too hot.
ReplyDeletethe neighbors are friendly. we have to keep the doors closed, though- Cleo wants to go exploring.
Hi Joyce,
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the researchers for your friend, Lynn Sparling. I was wondering where on the boat the anemometer is. Also, when the data logger reads a north wind, do you know if it's actually coming from the north or from some other direction? If some other direction, do you know which direction?
Sorry if this seems very direct, I don't mean to intrude on your boat trip. It looks like you're having a great time. I especially like that you have cats on the boat!
Enjoy the Keys!

hi Michael- nice to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteThe anemometer's installed at the stern on the top deck, so about 15 feet above the water. Or above the waterline, as we are now on land.
The directional data is inaccurate- it's not controlled for the boat's location. That would be a more elaborate instrument.
The data I gave Lynn shows our compass heading, and since the anemometer is set to face the front of the boat, you could extrapolate from that to get an approximate direction. Maybe.
My email is joyce@backyards.biz, and a bit more direct.
