Friday morning, May 25

Friday morning, May 25 Here we are in Rock Sound, and it is an unsettled morning. We can hear thunder in the distance, so we are soon going to have a thunderstorm. Mike was glad to see that Georgiana was up- not that he was glad to see her, but he can now go and work on the port engine. Terry is trying to get the weather update via radio, but it sounds more like the noise made by aliens on the Twilight Zone. Breakfast was the usual buffet. Cruisers could choose from bagels, oatmeal, granola, fruit, and yogurt- just your regular choices like the Holiday Inn. Peggy was great at getting everything set out and then cleaning up. Once again, Gee plans but leaves the execution to others. And, now it is raining again. This would not be good because both Terry and Michael are still out in the engine lockers trying to make repairs. Oops. Mike has run out of repair options, so he is sitting looking downcast while he tries to come up with another solution. It is also a problem because both Mike and Terry want to go into town for parts. Rock Sound does not have a marina, so they are going to have to dingy in. This, of course, is not a trivial task since the dingy is tied down on the foredeck. Now, Terry has gone after Overboard Kippy. Our man overboard practice piece is turning into a tool for engine repair. Terry is going to cut off Kippy's jaw so he can turn milk carton Kippy into a bowl of sorts. Alas poor Kippy. We will miss him. And then it really started to rain...and thunder...and lightning. Now, the crew is reduced to indoor activities. Mike, Terry and Peggy are reading. Sam is napping. Howard is wandering around this small confined space. We hope to be able to dingy into town this afternoon - should it ever stop raining.
