Altimate in the liftit was so damn necessary to get her cleaned up!so many evil barnacles high pressure washing helped already getting rid of a lot of the little monstersafter the high pressure treatmenthere we walked to another marina at Jackson Creek because they had a restaurant
there were many deers in Deltaville – so cute when they jumped in the soya(or whatever that was) fieldnothing special about that hydrant – I just like itit was always nice walking alongside the streets with no sidewalkour breakfast area, the marina had a very nice lounge for sailors and even a poolone of the few pics I took from our favourite work replacing the toilet hosesAltimate on her dry dock placeturning the anchor chain the meadows of the marinathe stroll was maybe a 100 m … but at least a little walkanother creek just next to DYCmarina very common in that area to have boat garagesthe pretty lounge house of DYCthat evening we wrestled watching the debate between Harris and Trump with Sabrina and Tom; the laptop in the middle of the pic worked for us as a screenthe only pic I took from the bbq -we were already cleaning upok that was the second pic with all the occ members and lovely Eugene who took us to the airport
