Pete & Pokey, the flamingo still lives & squeeks.....Well it had to happen! After all the boat is from 1977. We have a leak, below the water line but it's under control. It is something we were going to fix later during the summer, but we now have to have the boat hauled pronto. All the thru hulls & sea cocks are original 1977, all but one (the engine) are stuck in the open position. We are going to be hauled here in Georgetown next week, & all the thru hulls & sea cocks are going to be replaced. We were thinking of doing it ourselves but they are in such bad condition that we figure it would be faster to have the professionals do it fast & right! All the new parts are ordered, & hopefully the anchor stuff & wash down stuff will also arrive this week, as we plan on doing a little anchoring out to save money, we do have a generator, so what the engine during the day can't do, the generator will, such as air conditioning :-) We intend to take it easy this week & relax by the pool, even if they are calling for T storms this week. Miss B & I are so happy to have Jennifer back home. We are hoping to get to Dowry Creek 2nd week/mid June, something we are looking forward too.
