Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, in the water, out of the water

Wednesday was an 800+ mile driving day. We started mid-Tennessee with clear skies, only minor construction projects on the interstate. The rolling hills were topped with clouds falling down into the valleys. I was taking pictures with my I-mini, Tom did not think stopping on the side of the road to take photos.

Good News We arrived in Fort Myers on Wednesday night found a motel room and talked about our plans for leaving. Thursday morning was a great day for a launch and by noon Tom had Cool Hand secured to our slip in Moss Marina.

Bad news We had transmission fluid in the bilge.... a lot of transmission fluid. Tom call Olsen Marina (where we had the work done) and everyone agreed that there was something wrong.

Good News - we did spend the night on Cool Hand. We opened the hatches and did some cleaning, Tom watched Person of Interest and Elementary while I worked on a cross stitch picture.

Bad News Friday morning Tom brought Cool Hand back to the marina. The Transmission is broken and there is no rebuilt one available so we need to purchase a new one. We are out of the water until Tuesday.

We are back in Candlewood suites for the weekend.
