We are back in the water! We are expecting the mechanic first thing in the morning tomorrow to install the new battery and work on the Glendenning, and then we will be done. The boat needs a thorough clean and that will occupy the rest of the day. Plan is to leave Bock and go to an anchorage later tomorrow afternoon.

| Our "new" muffler |
The day started off well enough when the "new and improved muffler" arrived and was installed. The paint guy arrived soon thereafter and completed the work with a bit of wet sanding. I then reattached the stainless rub rail cap and we were all done. EXCEPT that I needed to straighten the cap a bit and hit it a few times with a hammer - but missed and hit the paint and knocked out a chunk.Oops.
After that happy moment we had to stooge for a couple of ours till the travel-lift came and got us.
Wednesday October 24
The mechanic arrived first thing and
installed the new battery and tuned up the Glendenning and was gone. We spent the rest of the day shopping and cleaning up the boat. And paying the bill ...

| Newly painted ER deck |
After two weeks of perfect weather sitting "on the hard" we now have a hurricane in the forecast. Hurricane "Sandy" is currently crossing Jamaica and is forecast to track North up the East Coast. In NC we will feel the first effects Thursday night and have decided to play it safe and head "inland" to New Bern tomorrow to wait it out.
