Aug. 27,2011 Hello Irene!

7:00 started stripping boat....took mainsail off, put below, tightened down all the hatches, took canvas off, tied dinghy, and retied boat...took objects off dressers and tables that may get flung around, packed suitcases...electronics and clothes.

9:00 finished most of it - went to take showers
10:00 back to boat..Ken took outboard motor and 2 cans of diesel fuel to shed at marina, they let us store them there.

watching activity around us...people taking things off their boats and doing things.

met our neighbor next to us in old houseboat...name is "Nan" gave us her card...she lives 2 blocks from the marina and would keep an eye on it...her friend Grant lives in Anapolis, MD and when we get there, he wants us to call him so he can show us around....sounds like a plan to me...

been trying to ck out the web cam at anchoragemarina.com...I can't pull it up to ck things out...I am having so many problems just signing on....I keep trying though..

2:15 PM leave the boat to go to hotel...the rains have already started and we need to get out of here...got drenched before we could get a cab and to the hotel...
Ck'd into the Radisson - nice place -

4:30 trying to upload pics...took me all night and only got part of Aug. 26th done...
I know nothing about these computer hookups,etc...kept telling me to restart router...what the heck is that....we are wireless and I don't know what is going on, but have many problems...

6:30 ate Hor'd'urves (sp) for supper....

back to our room -- watching tv for the first time since Aug. 1st and watching the news mostly and some old movies....

took a bath for the first time in a month as well...wait a minute that just doesn't sound right....I have been taking showers instead...really!

uploaded very few pics -

went to bed early - took sleeping aid...slept pretty good...I got up a few times and looked out the window...rain and wind, nothing exciting...thank goodness....I would never have gotten back to sleep!

that's it for now...more later....
