Another rainy day in Florida. It is suppose to be in the high seventies tomorrow and no rain. Captain put in a new outlet for me in the galley so that I have one plug-in that isn't on the inverter. This way I will stop blowing the circuit breakers. Captain hitched a ride to West Marine (a place that you should by stock in because we are alway there leaving money) and got a gasket kit for the stool that has decided to leak. Tomorrow he is going to try to trace the leak in the wash down pump that had been leaking water into Heather's bunk. "Leak" a word that is going to drive me over the edge. I got a ride to Wal-mart for a few supplies. My first trip to a Wal-Mart since we have been back. They didn't change in the short time I haven't been there. When I got back to the boat it looked like a tool truck had exploded in out boat. Everything was tore up with tools, boxes of nuts, bolts, some funny things I wasn't sure of and somewhere in this mess aI knew there was a Captain. All this for one little outlet. Will I ever learn?????

Look really close at this pic. See those two little round balls? Those are the nasty crab pot markers. Add a slight chop to the water and you almost don't see those crazy things. We stayed at Englewood for another day and headed out to Ft. Myers today. Charlott Bay is like Tampa Bay and can be rough if the wind hits it just right. Even though it was raining, we decided this would be the best day of this week to do it. Got rocked a little but not a bad trip. First Mate must be getting use to the rocking and rolling. Just need to learn to stand up right instead with our legs spread in a balancing act. We are staying at the same marina as John and Carol Sagle . They were there to get us tied up and settled. It's nice to see friends waiting when you pull in somewhere.
