June 4 Woke to a decent morning. Tim did a little more sight seeing on his bike (again some great architecture
in the area). Alice and Millie stretched
their legs off the boat. Today was catch
up on the blog and tackle a few boat chores kind of a day.

In a few days we need to be aware of vertical clearance
under bridges. Our air draft is right on the
line as to whether we will clear as is.
It is a bit of a moving target the higher the water levels, the more
restricted the clearance. We can lower
the radar arch (unbolt and physically lower it) onto a point on the upper deck. We used today to see what was involved in
getting this done. Could Alice and I
handle it? What could we rest the arch on to support it? We first jury rigged Millie’s boarding ramp resting on Alice’s yoga mat before Pete from Resolute offered a support bracket he does not anticipate
using in the short term. With help from Brian, the marina owner and Pete...voila...it was done! Since we will probably need to have it down
for our next travel day, we decided to leave it down and secure it.

We treated ourselves to dinner at the marina restaurant 'Boathouse' and had a great meal.
June 5 Another lay day doing chores, chores, chores.
