Arrived at the Boat

We got onto the boat Sunday. We arrived in the general area on Saturday late afternoon, but it was cold and too late to try to get settled on the boat. Rented a room for the night in Iuke.
Sunday we proceeded directly to the boat. Got the heater working. What a treat. The temp was just a little above freezing. Everything on the boat looked great. However you wouldn't believe the mould that has made its way on the boat. The head (bathroom) was the worst. All of the wood was covered in mould. A bleach based cleaner made short work of the cleanup.
Sunday we did the grocery shopping for the boat and began to settle things onto the boat.
Peter looked after the important task of getting the TV hanging on the bulkhead. We were able to make our first meal on the boat and watch movies our first night.
Monday was laundry day and more settling. Late in the day we had the laundry finished and the remainder of things from the car onto the boat.
There is some business stuff that needs to be finalized and then we hope to set out tomorrow, moving down the river. Sounds like we have 2 good days of weather coming up.
Typically now the temp drops to about 36F at night and gets up to mid 50's or low 60'sF during the day. Still cool on the water. We need to get going down the river towards the warmer weather.
