We Are Positive – August 21, 2022, St. Augustine, FL, USA

Well, it was inevitable, I guess. We finally tested positive for COVID19. I got it first and Ron shortly after. It isn’t that big a deal really, but just feels like a bad sore throat which turns into a bit of an annoying cough. I guess I should be grateful I have not gotten it until now, we are both vaccinated and boosted (so it isn’t that bad – just feels like a cold), and we have a place all set up with no plan to travel in the next few weeks, so we won’t be spreading it.

I slowed us down for about a day but other than that, we have really been doing what we had planned without too much issue.  Ron has been to the boat everyday and we’ve been walking 5 miles all but one day.  We even checked off a couple boat projects already.   

Ron had gotten the fiberglass repair completed and it turned out perfectly even though he was quite stoned from the resin fumes!  He has also been working on the new Bimini top which we needed to reconfigure before we can pattern out the surround.   One more day on this and we should be able to do that. 

He has had company too.  As hard as we tried to keep the birds from nesting on our boat, they were determined, and we have one.  Now I feel too bad to take it off since it has birds in it.  I have to wait till they leave to clean it up.

I guess we will keep to ourselves for another week and we will test again to see if we are still positive or not.  We could be in a much worse place that’s for sure!  Life is tough in paradise.
