STILL IN PORT

We were all set to pull out this morning...having had the AC fixed(but it isn't). We even drove to Jacksonville (6 hour round trip)on Monday to pick up a part, so we could get going. We finally had had enough and decided to just get on the water. Lines were dropped and all we needed was a little bow thrust to get us out of the slip. However, there was no thrust! We don't go anywhere without a working bow thruster, not with these currents! So.....we had a diver come to check out the thruster holes, all clear. John has checked everything, so another guy will come by later this afternoon to check things out. So here we sit, our car is already in the storage unit a few miles away. We are 6 days off our scheduled departure date. We will grin and bear it, as that is the mantra of cruising/boating. Hmmm...is it 9 yet :-))

  1. What a bummer about the thruster. Geez, I hope it gets fixed and you'll be sailing away tomorrow. It can only get better from here....
