Still in Boot Key/Marathon
Florida on a
mooring because the
generator parts that were supposed to be here in 10-14 days will end up taking 7 weeks and the
generator has been down for 2 months now. So, we stayed and waited and waited and waited. On the plus side it was a lot warmer here than just up the
Florida coast and there were some windy Northerlies the past month.
We had transportation costs of a car rental for a week from last month, but it showed up in this month’s statement. We also took the bus a couple of times to
Key West along with a few taxi rides when doing big grocery store runs.
We of course dined out while down in
Key West plus we went to numerous Happy Hours in restaurants for a less expensive dine out and to get off the
boat as there really isn’t a lot of things to do here but sit around in the warmth. Dining could be called entertainment lots of times.
Did
small boat projects and upgrades to make living on the
boat nicer.
Sold a spare
autopilot drive that I got last year (lost half that $$) so that went into a credit on boat costs.
Added up things we got off Amazon that we used account credits from
Christmas gifts and credited that
money back into gifts costs and put the brought item cost into wherever it belonged. This didn’t change any
money spend for the month but makes for a better “where did the money go” accounting.
