Sopping Wet

Marathon Public Library
No LL

"Here I sit broken hearted ..." No, no no. Wrong rhyme. Here I sit in the library sopping wet. Drops of water drip off my clothes on to the floor leaving a budding puddle under the place where I sit. No, I didn't fall overboard (wouldn't that make a fun blog article?). It's just a rainy day.

We had an ambitious agenda for today and tomorrow. I'm working on varnish and trying to fix the anchor light. I also have a new battery monitor system to install, and I want to put in a starting battery. To do that, I need to redesign all the battery cables. Given the sky high price for battery cables nowadays, it deserves some careful consideration. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we had plans to go to Key West again.

Anyhow, it turned out to be a rainy day. Real cloudbursts. This must be one of the top 5 rainy days we've seen in the past 500 days.

During a lull in the rain, I set out in the dinghy and the bike to buy gas, to go the library and to the grocery store. I should have counted on Murphy. The skies opened up. I had a rain jacket on but no pants, so I'm really really wet.

Oh well; the rain is sorely needed down here.
