Did he say Wednesday????

Well, dear reader, with all the other new experiences we have enjoyed so far (read cleaning, provisioning, repairing, upgrading, more cleaning, repairing provisioning, etc. here), mother nature has decided to throw one of her own at us....she is giving us the most amazing thunder and lightning show with full on torrential rain!  We think she wants us to be sure this really is the life we're choosing and so far, though the night is young, we are saying a resounding yes!

 

We had hoped to be on our way by Wednesday however, this is not to be.  The charger install will not be complete until Wednesday and the %$@#^$ previous owner (who, apparently believes the cheapest fix, including glue, is the one to go with and he calls himself an engineer!) messed with the water maker sooooooo, more parts, more fiddling, more boat units.  the decision has been made to purchase the parts and do the fix when we get to the Bahamas.  We'll leave with full tanks so should be good for at least a week now that the tanks leak has been repaired.  Maybe longer!  Ahhhhh....blessings abound! 

 Gregg mentioned a funny story the other day...a new boat owner says to his marine mechanic (and all things boat guy) "How much do you think it's going to cost to make the necessary repairs?" and the marine guy responds "How much ya got?" Ha, ha ha...  But seriously, folks, we want to be as sure as any boat owner can be when we throw off the lines that we have done our due diligence.  :o)

 So, for tonight, we will tuck ourselves in for another day at Las Olas Municipal Marina and wait for our guy to show up tomorrow with the sage advice that yes, indeed, we will soon be the proud owners of two new AGM's and it will only be another day of parts and tools and cardboard boxes strewn about our sweet little Simplicity II...life is good.

Until next time...

Love and hugs,

Shelley
