The Admiral has been confined to the tower over the Twin Dolphin offices for crimes as yet undetermined. The Captain KNOWS she hates to sew, so why on earth did he buy her a sewing machine (now named Chucky after the sinister doll in a horror flick)? And purchase fabric and supplies and such? Then set up a room for her to sew in forEVER? There will be outfits for everything on the boat, awnings over every part of the boat, screens over and around everything on the boat, and possibly a shroud for the Captain (surprise, surprise). At any rate, it's much easier to sew and measure and cut fabric in a big room with a long table than to set up shop in the dinette of the boat. And the view from the windows of the sewing turret is spectacular. The Manatee River, the bridge over the river, the pool and palm trees of Twin Dolphin.....can't beat it! Sooooo, the sewing is almost done for now (dinghy chaps and front awning postponed till Marathon), and we thank Mike for generously loaning us the tower.
