| The live oaks sort of bend over the roadway |
There was a time, early in our ICW adventures when we were docked at Vero Beach when Ann had an asthma attack requiring an emergency trip to the hospital. It was caused by live oak pollen which is plentiful in Vero Beach. Ever since then, we’ve been leary of live oaks. They are prized for the strength of their wood which was used extensively in wooden war ships in the early years.
Looking at live oaks in marina grounds, Ann is no longer affected. The trees are noted for their long, horizontal limbs that seem to defy gravity. They can be quite pretty as along as you’re not affected by the pollen.

We are due for four days of rain, starting Wednesday afternoon so I spent the day getting ready. The bimini received a coat of water repellent and I repaired the forward hatch where the handle decided it had enough and departed from its station attached to the hatch. Hopefully, regluing fixed that.
With the rain, all the inside chores are now waiting for attention. A woman’s work may never be done but having a boat is pretty similar.
