Day 294 Entry 065

Boot Key Harbor and Marina Mooring #W10  http://www.ci.marathon.fl.us/government/departments/marina-and-ports/

Actual Date:  January 27, 2014 Monday    
Weather:   Cold. Cold. Cold.  But no snow!   Temperature dropped to 52 degrees and the wind gusted to 30 mph.  But it is warmer here than most places in the country!

The real reason people should remove their shoes before boarding a boat!

Dusting and sweeping is the same as in any house.  Vacuuming is a little different though. Some sailboats have built in central vacuums. 

 s/v YOLO does not!   I have a small hand held vacuum, (my little Red Devil).

So instead of standing up while vacuuming the rug or floor, I vacuum on my hands and knees!  Not great, but do-able.  Honestly there really isn’t much square footage that needs to be vacuumed anyway.  I must admit though, that I do tend to postpone vacuuming for as long as possible, just like home!  

By now I am sure that you have figured out the real reason why people remove their shoes before boarding a boat!  It  is not so they don't slip on the wet surface; or not to scratch the fiberglass; or not to leave black scuff marks on the fiberglass!  You got it because I hate to vacuum!!!!!!!!!!!!!.   

Sea u later.
