Happy Mother's Day!












This morning we just hung out on the boat until afternoon. I cooked an egg breakfast for us and we enjoyed each others company. It felt good not to get going early for a change. Of course we woke up early but that was OK as long as we didn't have to start moving.

In the afternoon we both did some cleaning, me down below and Larry topsides. After we finished we went for a long walk into town. I forgot how pretty Georgetown is. It's been a long while since we have gone ashore here in Georgetown. It felt good to stretch our legs.

While we were in town we went out to eat a late lunch/early dinner. We went to the Goat Island Grill. We have been there before and we are never disappointed.

After we ate we went for a walk on the boardwalk. While we were walking, Interlude came into anchor in the harbor. We talked to Tom by phone and he said it was cold and very windy on the ride up from Charleston. They may stay tomorrow and if they do we will get together. If not we will probably catch up with them along the way.

The picture is of two replica cruise ships the Nina and the Pinta. They were docked at a pier above the boardwalk waiting for customers to board.

Yesterday the engine repair man came and gave us the news of what had happened to our engine. We had a small whole in the mixing elbow on our exhaust. It became a big one when the build up of salt was removed. It was a matter of time till the salt build up came free on it's own. He told us he would have to wait until Monday to order the part, but it should be here on Tuesday. He will install it Tuesday night and we plan to be on our way Wednesday morning. That is providing the supplier has the part. We are hoping for the best.
