Stuck in Belhaven

Well, another great day on the water. Carol did a great job with waypoints. Once she turned them over to Mike, she took a long nap (still under the sway of Bendryl). We only had one bridge. Otto Pilot got to drive a lot today. We didn't see many other boats. Mike only killed four crickets (again, how did they get on the boat?). We did so well that we even made it to Belhaven early. So, here we are at the Belhaven Marina. We had some major clean up from night of the living dead. We had to wash blood and mosquito carcasses off almost every surface of the boat - inside and out. We also had to wash all the sheets. Blood and carcasses were all over them as well. And this afternoon we learned that we will be here for several more days. The weather is going against us, so we have decided to wait it out a day or two here to see what Happens. Unfortunately, it is not the greatest place to be stuck. Between the recession and some really bad flooding, not much is left in downtown. Just a drugstore, an Ace hardware, and four restaurants - two of which are open all the way until 8 PM on a Wednesday night. We had really good food at Fish Hooks. It included pineapple casserole. That was a new one on us. But, it turned out to be a good dish. So now we are getting ready for bed. Everyone is tired, so it is another early night for us. Peggy has already told Mike that he is not to turn on the gas in the morning to make tea too early. Everyone gets to sleep in. I like that plan.
