Day #238: Mike and I were up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, mini lemon poppy seed muffins, grapefruit and maple cookies (thanks to David and Jan for buying us cookies as they stopped at Trader Joe's). At 8:30 A.M. Gary from the marina came to change out the second set of fuel filters. He completed the job at 10:00 A.M. The "Parrot Bay" has now had all of the maintenance that we scheduled for her since arriving at Aquamarina Palm Harbour. She is ready to leave Aquamarina in 33 days. After Gary left the two of us walked to the post office and hardware store. On our way back into the marina we stopped in the south basin of the marina where there was a manatee just lounging. Afterward lunch Mike headed to the pool while I took a short nap. While I was laying down Mike helped Ed and Kyle to load their dinghy on the back of "It's OK 2" getting ready to leave on Friday. "Kailani" a looper boat arrived at the marina during the afternoon. Ed had been a great help to Tracy and Nick from "Kailani" helping them while they were in Demopolis. Although warm all day there is a chance of rain this late afternoon and evening. At 4:30 P.M. Ed, Kyle, Nick, Tracy, Mike and I had happy hour in the cabana. During the evening hours Mike and I read books and blogged.
