It rained today, cooling things off considerably. We went from too hot to too cool overnight.
Yesterday, our neighbors told us about a grocery store within walking distance, so I walked over there this morning, stopping at a post office on the way. To my surprise, the grocery store turned out to be the first one I had gone to when we were at the mooring! I had no idea it was so close to where we are now. It would have been really convenient when we were at slip 509, right across the river from it, but now it's a fairly long walk, their prices are high, and they don't have some of the things I want, so I'm better off taking the bus to Publix or Winn-Dixie.
I phoned some boatyards in Miami. Found one that might be a possibility. They require you to buy your bottom paint at their store, but they charge less than the other yards I've contacted and their other prices are considerably lower. We might go down to Miami on Tri-Rail in a few days and look it over.
In the afternoon, I rode a bus to Galleria Mall and saw "Nobody's Fool" with Paul Newman and Jessica Tandy. Not much of a plot, but it was entertaining and well acted.
On the way home, I stopped at the library and looked up some stuff. Fortunately, the rain had quit by the time I left, so I didn't get wet. It was pretty cold, though.
Roy put up a sign on the bulletin board for the old inverter that we no longer use. Sold it right away. He also put up a sign for our surplus charts, but no takers on those yet.
