The finished saloon

 I stayed with the boat, Morning Dance, in Key Largo giving her a much needed interior renovation. All of the walls were washed in vinegar and panted to coordinate with the cushions in the saloon. It was great to see Morning Dance's transformation over a few gallons of paint and a few days worth of work.

Captains Quarters

Also during this week, Cooper decided to wake me up one night around 2:45am while he tried swatting at a faint "buzzing" noise coming from our high water alarm. (A blessing in disguise as I was sound asleep.)..... After activating all of the bilge pumps and shutting off all of the through-hulls (thinking that a hose clamp had come loose) Cooper and I were able to trace the flowing water into the saloon where it was coming from our grounding plate that had broke a bolt loose. It was a tiny hole and a simple fix once the plug was pounded into it. It allowed our renovations to continue until we could get her hauled out at Manatee bay where we installed a new grounding plate and had her bottom repainted.
