Finished the St. John's cruise yesterday afternoon and tied up again at the free dock at Sister's Creek, back on the ICW. Remained cool for the most part. High was in the mid 50's but overnight, it rained a bit and this morning the temp was still in the 50's. Made a huge difference in cabin temp getting up this morning. We've had to run the generator a lot, just to keep the boat warm and this morning it heated up in 10 minutes. Spent yesterday afternoon doing minor chores, Cindy ran the washer/dryer and it worked well. We had some issues with it last fall, with it aborting its cycle. I called the manufacturer over the holidays, and it turns out the electronics don't like the waveform of the inverter, so I simply flipped the inverter off and problem solved. Boats are full of little idiosyncracies. Watched hockey with Hockey Day Minnesota and the Wild played a great game. Today plan on moving on down the ICW to St. Augustine and pick up a moooring ball there for a couple of days and bike around the city. We really enjoyed it a year ago.
