I watched the night
slowly dissolve into morning. At the
marina across the way, very few people are moving about. I occasionally see a head bobbing in and out
of boats. A fishing boat quietly passed
by loaded with four fishermen. The geese
came in earlier while the sun was still hidden. Their squawking must be the
counterpart to a rooster crow in Georgia signaling that it is time to get up
and enjoy the day. God has created
another beautiful day for us to seize.
Mick and Buddy
arrived about 8:30 this morning. Buddy
came to make some final repairs and Mick came to take us out for practice
docking. I got to practice docking three
times before a practice run at parallel parking at a gas dock. Then I took the boat out toward the
Chesapeake Bay. We passed the Thomas
point light house which is supposed to be one of the most photographed
lighthouses around. I believe it is
privately owned now. I will have to do
some research on that when I have good internet reception.
We returned
from our practicing around noon. Mick
took off and we were on our own.
We
tried again to run the washing machine, which again to our dismay, began
leaking massive amounts of water. John
paid us a visit, drained the machine and we were told to use the washing
machine at the marina and wait till Monday when they would call the Bosch
repairman. We are thankful that this was
not an owner induced mishap.
After drying up
all the water, we went into Annapolis to get some supplies. On the way out, we met DeDe and Terry who own Providence. Providence is a brand new 65 foot
Fleming. DeDe and Terry are from
Charlotte, NC. They will be taking
Providence to Stewart, FL starting in December.
After shopping,
we returned excited to watch the Georgia/Auburn football game. To our great dismay, the previous owner had
turned off the direct TV. Steve opted
not to play cards with me or words with friends. I don't get internet reception, but somehow
he does, so it looks like another quiet night on the boat.
