Day 79, October 19th, 2009
We woke to thick fog over the water, but it didn't take long before nice bright sunshine burnt it off. Its amazing how much more beautiful things look when the sun comes out!
John and I had breakfast and then went up to see what was going on in the yard. Oh Dear! More bad news! Apparently the parts never got sent. Visa refused to honour the expenditure when they couldn't reach Paul or Sue to confirm their order. It being the weekend the office was closed, of course, and cell phone reception is patchy. After making several phone calls, Sue was able to clear things up and they were promised the parts would get mailed before the end of the day. However, that still means another 4 days of waiting. Disappointment!! We talked it over and decided that John and I would move over to Aqua Marine Yacht Harbour to do some laundry and get up to date on the internet. We will anchor out Tuesday night and then start moving south on our own. Paul and Sue should be able to catch up in Demopolis, AL where I have some mail to pick up and business to take care of.
We arrived at Aqua before noon and had two loads of laundry all looked after by 2:00p.m.
Big Marina, great facilities, $1.25/ft. We spent the afternoon at the computer, checking e-mails etc. Paul and Sue walked over and after checking their e-mail we had a bite of supper together.
We borrowed the courtesy car to drive them home to the boatyard.
