Dozier’s - at a dock

What a great front porch!

 We are taking three days to get ready for a haulout by Stingray. Today was my chore to do an oil and oil filter change along with two fuel filter changes and a transmission oil change. That took most of the morning but it’s part of getting the boat ready for summer storage and a quick departure in the fall. 

The docks are floating, very nice, well maintained

On Thursday, it’s boat cleaning day and packing for the trip. We have to fit everything into our Nissan Rogue which is normally not a problem except we’re taking our bimini and enclosure along too, both are in need of repairs. It’s almost impossible getting canvass repairs done on the ICW so we’ll return to our original canvass guy and have him do it. 

They even have a small swimming pool. The laundromat is next door.

The marina here is pretty nice. They have a great front porch and floating docks, both pluses. The people are nice and everything’s in good shape. We plan on returning in the fall to launch Fleetwing and then move over to Dozier’s for a day or so to do final prep on Fleetwing for the trip south. I think we are returning to Key West again if everything holds up as expected. Friday is still our departure date for New York.
