1-15 April
We used the first days of April to settle in the house and update and make all our medical appointments. And considering the tariffs being proposed by our President we decided to buy a new car. As we’re not car people we bought another Equinox as the last one has been a good one. We also hauled the boat, painted the bottom, and changed the oils in the engines. We’re getting the boat ready for some summer cruising.
14-30 April
In the latter half of April, we worked on the boat and house settled back into our Colonial Beach routine with friends. We are trying to get all the outside teak looking nice and set up for low maintenance.
1-30 May
On the 7th we attended an old friend’s funeral, Jim McClane. He and I served together on Richard E. Byrd (DDG-23) and several of us that served with him attended the ceremony.
