Up and At'Em

Saturday Morning, May 26 Today, Gee and Carol were rudely awakened at 6:30 AM by the sound of power. In Gee's case, the sound of power was right under her head. Everyone says she should be happy because BOTH engines are purring away. So, it appears that we will be getting an early start. Today's plan is to go to Spanish Wells. It is a sixty mile trip, so an early start was on the agenda. Sam, Howard, and Mike all woke up really early and full of energy. And the rest of us had to get up, too. We motored all day. After days of rain and wind, we had a sun shiny day with no wind. In many ways, it was a boring day. And, as Terry and Mike are quick to point out, boring is very good. No engine problems. No any kind of problems. In fact, Mike read a novel for most of the day. Terry took the time to 'repair' little things that have been annoying him. At 5:28, we arrived in Spanish Wells. It is an interesting place. They have no ice anywhere. They also have no restaurants. And,everything is closed tomorrow (Sunday). And, Monday is a holiday. So everything will be closed. Definitely not your basic marina town. Oh, did I mention that the marina office is closed? By the way, you can't do laundry here without a token. Which you have to get from the marina office. Which is closed. Definitely a different sort of marina experience for us.

But how were the bathrooms at the marina?

So glad the engines are working and all is going well boat wise!
