Monday, September 26. 2011

Rejoice!!!! Our boat is finished, almost. It still need two cotter pins which Al is supposed to get tomorrow. And the fuel that was taken out of the leaking tank is to be delivered here tomorrow as well. Today, the generator was hooked up and primed, the engine was hooked up and primed and a new exhaust hose installed, and the engine was aligned. The generator and engine both ran fine. We should be good to go. Norm is flying home on Wednesday to attend a funeral and won't be back until Monday. Once we have clean clothes, enough food, a pump out, and water in the tanks, we will finally be moving on. We have gotten to know the people here at this marina fairly well. Everyone has been so nice and accommodating.

The harbor has Happy Hour on Monday in the Ship Store. We have missed the last three until tonight. The first two weeks after returning from Cincinnati, we just forgot. Last Monday, Sue and I went shopping all day to stay out of the way of the work being done on the boat. That's the day the new tank got here and was brought onto the boat. So, this week we were determined to be there and socialize. I made Hanky Panks (or Moose Poops as my sister-in-law calls them). I had an empty tray to bring back. It makes you happy when people like what you cook. So, we celebrated the fact that we are put back together with the whole harbor. Woo Hoo!
