    It started raining up in Jacksonville Avondale are about 1400 hrs.  We were having lunch with new friends Allen & Candice’ of Tuktu.  I helped Allen deliver her from Green Cove Springs to Ortega Landing Marina this morning on a glorious day that turned into an expected soaking, rainy overcast afternoon.  It was a fun trip of about 4 hours.  Afterwards they treated SAM & I to lunch at  nice sidewalk cafe’.  We have been using our nautical blogs to document these happenings.

    Now back on our boat, I am writing to kill some time.  We have been working hard trying to finish up chores on the boat before end of season layup sometime in mid-April. Abby is snoozing beside me on the starboard setee and looking quite content.  What a happy companion dog we have.

    I have been taking strong Ibuprofen 800mg tabs three times a day for neck pain that I think began as I was cutting off the wooden teak plugs used to cover up the screw holes on Inspiration II eyebrow decorative stripes.  It started three nights ago while sleeping and that ended my sleep in extreme pain.  It seems that each time I do strenuous repetitive  motion with my arms it occurs with alarming regularity.  I do know what to avoid and can mitigate the condition by limiting the time I perform the function and break it up into several sessions.

    The rain that started in Jacksonville about 1400 continues to fall steadily here in Green Cove Springs.  I am guessing the rain started here about 1315 hrs.  The weather is overcast, rainy, 77°F and 1014.8 mb barometric pressure.  The rain was expected and if forecast to last several days.
