The day began somewhat rainy, so we decided to stay another day.  It actually was a very productive day.  We vacuumed, dusted, cleaned the blinds and discovered the shower wasn't draining.    We tried to clear the blockage using a "snake", no luck.  Then tried to use the water pressure from the hose and only succeeded in putting two inches of water in the shower!  We then tried to blow air through the drain hose, still no luck.  Bob hiked to a nearby Walgreen's and picked up some drain cleaner.  We poured in the cleaner, waited the appropriate time, again no luck!  We tried to use a snake to clear the drain, still no luck.   We manually cleared the water from the shower and again tried the air pressure, this time we made sure the 2nd drain hole was covered.  Eureka, success!   The next project was to get our Christmas gifts wrapped and boxed so we can ship them home (if we don't do it soon, they will never arrive in time for Christmas!).  Okay, all wrapped and boxed, now we just have to locate a UPS Store!  We were then treated to a Christmas boat parade, right here at the marina.  Every year boats are decorated by local boaters.  They assemble at the marina we are at and then head down the river to be judged.  Below is tonight's sunset, along with some of the entries.
This one won 3rd place
