Chiheb’s arrival

I did many errands in the morning before Chiheb arrived at about 2PM

We met at the metro station.  Had a burger at Burger King, walked around a bit, and went to the boat  


Saturday, we toured downtown Miami.

On Sunday, we did the groceries with San Rito Raou and Chiheb, and filled my spare diesel Jerry Can as well as a fellow boater's using Sanrito's car.  


Chiheb and I swapped out the damaged anchor.

Boat Work

Put away provisioning 

Cleaned fridge 

Installed newly filled propane tanks 

Installed a new battery 

Empty food nets 

Cleaned the water tank filter screen

Inspected the oil leak on the camshaft manual crank


I slept aboard BELLUM.

The next day, I went to the Apple Store in Brickell to have my iPhone battery replaced.  They were slow at changing the battery, so I went to tour the local urban sprawl. Like the rest of Miami, everything was densely built up.  Reminds me of the movie BRASIL.

Nothing interesting, so I went back to the Apple store and had a demo of the incredible Apple Vision PRO - very impressed, but also expensive.  I bought it.  

I came back home to find Sandro had ordered Pizza from Domino's, which didn't deliver, so we ended up having pork.

All Clear - No skin issues

Today I got checked for Melanoma and was cleared of any skin cancer.
