Titusville Marina - Cook's night off

 

Ann's oil pastel painting today

The weather turned warm today with lots of sunshine, a great change for the better. Sarah studied in the cockpit all day and Ann painted in pastels. Her painting is featured at the top of the blog. She's been using oil pastels recently and they have a different look than the traditional pastels she used to use. They are brighter in color and look smoother. 

Every boat should have a liveaboard cook!!

Sarah cooked supper tonight. We had her specialty of chicken wraps with all the extras secret ingredients - known only to Sarah. It was delicious. The rice was cooked in the Instant Pot which we've found very useful on the boat, easy to set up, and foolproof. 

I reserved a car for the trip back south and was introduced again to the rising prices of rentals. If you haven't rented a car recently, prepare yourself for a shock. We will have a rental on Thursday to see the sights and what used to cost $30/day is now $75/day. I was prepared for an increase along he lines of cited inflation numbers (5%, 10%, etc.) but not almost 300%! The one way rentals are even worse. 

Nevertheless, we now have cars reserved for the trip north in November and the trip south in January so we're all set. It will really be nice to return to Key West!
