Will get ready to move and eat breakfast later.

1350-Read for a while then napped briefly. Mostly cloudy, light breeze. 72F/72F. Solar 99%.

1520-Fished for a while, no luck.  I started preparing dinner.  My salad was finally gone after 19 days on the road.  Pretty good. So tonight it will be pizza with an ice cold beer with ice cream for dessert.  I added extra pepperoni, mozzarella, and mixed cheddar and jack cheese.

1640-Pizza was great! Listened to music and took out the strawberries to thaw for my ice cream dessert.

Currently it is raining.  I think a cell is moving through. Weather looks great for tomorrow.

1720-Had my dessert, always good!  Sun is back out and it is calm in the anchorage. Will read some more.

1920-I finished "Fractured Faith" by Lina Abujamra. I will spend some time reading my e-Book "Storm Tide" by Wilbur Smith.  I only have two days before it expires so may not be able to finish it.

Thunder all around. Will close up ship and soon hit the sack.  72F/65F. Solar 96%.
