Elaine/Sunny/ 80
A great day on the water and best of all, sunshine!! Reached 80 degrees and we made it through Little Mud River at high tide. Traveled about 25 miles and I thought we would have a relaxing afternoon as we dropped anchor before lunch. Lawrence has been monitoring his return line on the antifreeze loop to be sure all was well. While checking closely at the water heater he noticed a tiny leak from the return hose of the antifreeze loop. Thank goodness he purchased 25' of hose back in Charleston. Since we could not be exactly sure if there were any additional bad spots in the hose that we could not see, we decided to replace the entire line - utilizing the final 13 feet of hose we had purchased. Enough for a relaxing afternoon; but the job went relatively easily and we even had time to relax a bit before dinner. I was able to do a bit of my cross stitch and prep dinner - steaks, whipped potatoes, and parmesan roasted cauliflower. Time for Irish Coffees, "The Voice" and recapping our day. Tomorrow we will pass through Jekyll Creek and its notorious shallow waters, St. Andrews Sound, St. Mary's and on to Fernandina Beach, FLORIDA!!!!
