September 26th. It’s been a couple weeks since
the last blog. In that time we have waited, in vain I might add, for a new
sprocket for our Auto Pilot. Though the sprocket did not arrive, we thoroughly
enjoyed our stay at Lady’s Island Marina. They have great Wi-Fi, and free
cable, nice laundry and showers and one of the shops up stairs is a fabric
store Tabby fabric. I also make two trips to Kostal Knitting adding to my pillow stash, collecting many new ideas. We dined at several great restaurants the best was
breakfast at Burlap's. They have an excellent meat market… well needless to say
we will be back.
We got as much done as possible - time to move
north. We need to be in Norfolk before the 9th of October for a
family visit.
Tides and Time wait for no one and we have bumped enough
bottoms in the ICW that we did not want to get stuck again.
Steve the dock master at Lady’s Island Marina helped toss
lines letting the current turn our lady around and off we went at High Tide.
The day was over cast but the rain never fell until we dropped anchor in Church
Creek 47.9 NM
We had our share of Dolphin siting’s, Big Pink Birds,
passing power and sail boats … all in all a nice day even though it was a gray
day.

This is the first time we were worried about hitting bottom not the
top. Cleared both top and bottom with room to spare |
