Well a bit of progress was made today - but sadly we are not done yet. It would seem that our electronics man got tied up on another job and didn't show up here until later in the afternoon. Once he got here he made very short work of getting the new control head installed. But, by the time that was done it was too late to be hauled out to get the transducer put in. The latest plan is that we will get hauled tomorrow morning, the yards guys will install the transducer and we will do the rest of the wiring. Hopefully all will go to plan and we can leave the boat yard tomorrow. We do actually quite like it here as it is very quiet and peaceful but we really want to get on our way again. Of course we have missed the window to jump offshore at Beaufort so rather than wait for the next window we will start trucking on down the ICW.

I have been remiss in not taking any photos lately - this one shows Tom in full offshore garb. Note the headlamp which we switch to the red lamp to preserve our night vision.
