3- Working on boat and alligator sighting

Sitting here in the boat trapped by rain and wind. Since our last post, we have continued to complete projects and run off hours needed to break in our new engine. We did get to see our first ‘wild’ alligator since moving to Florida. It showed up at our marina one cloudy day and of course we had to make a short video of it. See below….

We visited our friends Rosa and Doug this weekend and went for a ride on their pontoon. It was fun going fast on the water. Our fastest speed on Over Yonder is around 7 knots. Visits with Rosa and Doug are our downtime from working on the boat.

One disappointment this week occurred when we discovered that we will not be able to take our air popcorn popper on our upcoming trip. It just draws too much power. We will just have to figure out a way to make healthier popcorn on the stove. We did try it, but it just tasted too oily. A recipe adjustment is needed. We do love our popcorn.
