Big mistake!

Well after spending the holidays away from the boat, I arrived back yesterday to be greeted by this!

I should not have left my dinghy in the water while I was gone because it was coated with barnacles and took me a couple of hours to scrub and clean the resulting mess. Oh well. Live and learn.
Tomorrow it will be very windy again so we will be staying put before we push off for lake Okeechobee.
