Our inverter has been acting up lately.  When we were anchored out, it would only last about 4 hours and then it would beep to tell us it was out of juice.  So, today Mike and John got down in the engine room and tested the batteries to see if maybe one of them had a bad cell.  They really couldn't tell what was going on with them, but decided to replace the batteries anyway.  Mike drove us to a golf cart store and they had the golf cart batteries that John was looking for.  John bought four batteries and Mike and John replaced the old batteries with the new ones.  Once the old ones were out, they noticed that two of the four were split open.  The inverter is working like new.

Mike and Linda had made a reservation at Patty's for dinner tonight to celebrate our finishing the loop.  The food, the company, and the atmosphere were all perfect.  Thank you, Mike and Linda.  You are the best!  They are kind enough to let John ride home with them so that he can bring our car back here.  Our plan is to take our boat to Aqua Yacht Harbor in northern Mississippi.  When we get there, the car will be at Kentucky Dam Marina and we won't have as far to go to pick it up.  I will continue to blog until we get to Aqua Yacht Harbor.  At that point I will stop blogging.  What will I do with my late evenings? 


Linda, Carol, John, and Mike at Patty's.
