Middle of July! Where has the summer gone? Whew!

Well the updates are as follows:

1) We bought a new dinghy because the old one was leaking both air and water - no we didn't fix it when we did all the work shown in the last photos.

2) We got new electronics installed but it is not functioning yet - still have to figure out what Darrell and Capt. Al didn't do or something.

3) I have an office full of fabric and parts/pieces of a new bimini top and new dodger (the pretty cloth and vinyl that keep us dry in the cockpit). We took off the old bimini yesterday and installed some new hardware on the ends of the bars and have it positioned right now to begin making the patterns to cut a new one. We're moving it back farther to shade the helms person and we're going to install a "connector" between there and the dodger to give more weather protection. Instead of green we're going to make it khaki so perhaps it will be a few degrees cooler in the brutal Florida sun. We have our work cut out for the next several days/weeks!

We had a staff appreciation party on July 4th. We rafted one of the dive boats to Alibi and filled coolers with beer, rum punch, and had plenty of snacks. Front row seats for the fireworks were great! Roxy even was pretty calm for all the commotion (doggie downers are great).

The pictures of Roxy getting a bath are take at the shop - our dive gear rinse tub. She was none too happy about getting a bath in public! Hope all of you are having a safe and wonderful summer - we are.
