Tuesday, November 15th - Repairs Part 2

Things have gotten complicated for David, so we decided to move east and hope he can join us later.  When Danny went in the engine room to check everything, transmission fluid was still leaking, so we called another mechanic.  He came by late in the afternoon to look, said he would order parts and be back tomorrow.

On our way into the office to get a mechanic referral, I counted the steps between our boat and the marina office - 584.  And our kids were worried about us not getting exercise!  We walk it several times a day plus walking around the retail area.  It's such a distance, the employees ride bicycles to get around on the docks!

I had my first Shrimp and Grits of the trip at lunch.  They were delicious.  I think I could eat them every day, except for the price.  And the calories.

The highlight of the afternoon boat viewing was a humongous barge and tow.  I toook its picture in 3 sections.  Hope it shows up.





For my friends worried about our social life, we had nine people on our boat for Docktails.  We sat on ice chests, steps, stools, anything we could find.  Danny had invited two couples while we were walking around in the afternoon, they had invited a couple more.  It's really fun to hear others people's experiences, and we will keep running into most of these people as we travel The Loop.


Huge Christmas balls at The Wharf seem a little out of place with the bright sunshine and very warm temperatures.

Another use for beach towels!  It's really cool in the mornings.

He liked the bacon, but it was still a fru fru breakfast.

Docktails on our boat.  People from Ontario, Michigan, West Virginia.  Everybody brings their own drinks and those who felled bring food.


The fishing boats amaze me!  Look at these reels.

We watched several  parts of this contest.  The Grand Prize was $100,000!

We thought we were leaving today, so Danny did routine maintenance - filling the water tank and pumping up the dinghy.

This young lady was plating her dish for competition.

Danny enjoying shopping for once in his life!



How's this for a fishing boat?  

We keep looking for a place to take a good picture of the marina.

Zac Brown and his Southern Ground Tailgate set up.  Quite a rig.
