Once we got back to Ashland City Marina, we completed the usual tasks: filled up with diesel and got pumped out. Ben had a few boat projects lined up and was ready to dive in starting with the new windlass we had been carrying with us since May of 2024 in its box.
Our friends Carlos and Libby live nearby and allowed us to ship some items to their house so we could get them when we saw them. Carlos brought their kids to the marina and delivered a whole stack of packages to the boat including a new toilet, fly traps, paper towels, hoses, connections, and other things needed to repair some items which contributed to more of this summer's necessary projects.
Ben wasted no time and got right to work installing the windlass. Carlos ran him to the store and back. Ben did a few more things before Carlos came back later around 6 PM to pick all of us up for dinner at his house.
It was so good to see Carlos, Libby, and their adorable kids. They moved here from Colorado about two years ago, and the kids and I hadn’t seen them since. It felt so good to catch up, share stories, let the kids play, and just spend time together.
These are the moments we love- when our crazy summer boat life not only brings us to new places, but we get to catch up with old friends.
