Well we had another minor setback. Yesterday morning as we had checked out and prepared to head for Hilton Head, the starboard engine didn't want to turn over. We had planned to meet our St. Louis friends, the Connells and Meyers. After spending most of the morning trouble shooting, unsuccessfully, we had to cancel our trip and remain at this marina. We consoled ourselves with a trip to town in the loaner car for food and marine supplies, followed by a good home cooked meal with several glasses of wine aboard the boat.
Because of the holiday weekend, there were no mechanics available, so we relaxed and waited. The Meyers and Connells drove down from Hilton Head before noon and we had a good lunch together. It's always good to get together with old time friends and we appreciated the fact that they had to drive an hour or more to get here.
Early this evening we walked around this quaint little historic town and enjoyed the old homes and the moss covered trees. The folks here at the marina have been most accomodating and friendly. We could not have been stuck in a better place.

Hi Judy and Ned- I just returned from Ft. Myers (was not able to bring Sandra Lee back - winds too high) and heard all about your adventures. Tom Hendricks gave me your blog address and I have read it. You are doing a fine job. Yes, the trials and tribulations of boating are wonderful, aren't they. Keep the info coming.
Jerry
