Day 6
From my iPhone so it will be brief. Sunday was to be laid back, with a dinghy ride to a restaurant for lunch. We did laundry at the marina... and other dull stuff. However, about six we discovered loose alternator belts, a broken ground wire on a thru hull bronze fitting and about 3 gallons of water in our lazarette. So, it was back to the marina for repair parts. About 8 pm repairs were complete, but the Admiral wanted a long hot shower, so we motored the half mile back to the marina in the dinghy in the dark. And I mean dark!

Day 7
The next morning it was up at dawn for the 50 mile cruise to Daytona Beach. The trip was beautiful as we saw many dolphins and Manatees. We dinghied into the marina to a West Marine store to pick up a couple of plastic plumbing fittings to fix the water leak in the lazarette. Day 7 ended with all repairs complete and a perfect evening.

So you're both the Captain and the Chief Engineer?
