A Layday? Not yet!

We are still having issues with the fresh water system. It is getting air in from an unknown source and causing the pump to not work properly.

I spent two hours on it today to no avail. I ordered a new strainer filter which we will pickup in Charleston along with some other stuff.

I had to work on a sanitation valve today too and it was not nice at all. When you pull it apart some effluent always comes out -- yuck!!

We made up new longer lines for our fenders today since most of the marinas we will head to for awhile will all have floating docks. I had plenty of nice old lines to work with so that went well.

Had to work on the shower faucet for the forward head too... It was a lot of work but I was done by 1pm and could then drop back into "Island Time".

We played leap frog with our friends today. Around 10:30am I heard SKAT call the bridge here for an opening and they sailed past us -- Osprey Marina for the day. Around 3pm Craig and Dovie came in on Bubbles and tied up in front of us. I think we will all rendezvous in Osprey tomorrow then plan too push on to Charleston for another gathering around Nov 1.

The weather has been unbelievably nice for this time of year. We understand it and accept it -- it won't last forever.

Tomorrow we enter the Waccama River -- always a great interesting ride. We will stop for full at OSprey Marina and if they have room will stay there otherwise we will anchor in creek off the Waccama.
