Spent Saturday, Aug 8 at Harbor of Refuge. We finished giving the caisson it's coat of black and put a new coat of white on the tower except for the top four feet. Next trip, we will break out the ladders and the boatswain chair to finish the tower and the exterior of the watch room.
We also got two coats of lead shield on the watch room level and the ceilings prepped on that level and the level below. These two levels are now ready for finish coats which we hope to do next trip which will probably be the first weekend of October.
Jack was along this trip and did some painting, cleaning and was our gopher. He is standing in front of the new door and shown with his special tool and also relaxing waiting for the boat to pick us up.
We had ten volunteers and we exceeded our goals again. It ended up being a beautiful day. The weatherman had predicted temps in the mid 90's and thankfully was off by ten degrees as the high was 84 for the day with a nice breeze.
Rich and Joanne Fanning were camping in OC and he made it for the work trip.
Jack and I went to OC yesterday and met them at the Embers for the early bird dinner and then we went on the boardwalk. Got back to the house after 2100 with a storm from Bethany Beach to Rehoboth. No rain at our house.
Joe and Corrine are in South Carolina until next Monday, so we're keeping an eye on their place for a change.
Had bloodwork again this morning, then we went for breakfast and to the store for milk and bread and some fresh fruit.
Home and in the air conditioning for the day. Went for the mail and decided it's too hot to even go to the pool. It was 96 with a heat index of 104 at noon. It had gone to 90 before 10 AM.
Well, going to make a light lunch and relax in the cool. We might go to the pool late afternoon. It's open to 1900 today.
