We made it! We arrived at Lady last night around 6pm, proceeded to unload the car and had takeout delivery by 8:30pm. The nice marina folks checked Lady’s interior for us this week, so we knew her interior wasn’t covered in mold and we could sleep on her upon arrival. Thank goodness, because one hotel stay on the drive down was stressful enough in these COVID times!
It’s hotter than freaking hell and also very humid! I’m sitting still in the cockpit, in the breeze, at 8:00am and I’m already sweating. The boat’s interior temperature is currently the same as the outside temp, but it will creep up to about 5 degrees over ambient as the day progresses. The breeze is blowing from our port side, so the hatches don’t draw much inside. Our two air scoops will funnel some into two of the cabins, and we’ll have every fan going. The next few days are not going to be comfortable or fun. Can’t swim at the marina, so we’ll have to hose off occasionally and drink lots of ice water to prevent heat stroke.
This is short because we have a ton of work to do. All those things we unpacked from the car are strewn across Lady’s salon and spare cabins and need to be unpacked and stowed, and Dave has a long list of repairs to tend to.
But first, I’m going to the farmer’s market for some fresh produce. I hope folks are wearing masks!
Life on Lady 
I don’t envy your battle of the heat in Florida right now as it was hot enough in Portsmouth. We’re currently in Portland getting ready to cruise to Harpswell in about an hour. Take care!
