Monday, Nov. 11, 2013  It's Veteran's Day.  I've been listening to Sousa Marches which I love.  Hurray NPR honoring the Vets!  Since we have now decided to stay in Southport, NC and have some repairs done by Zimmerman Marine, we met with the manager, Steve.  We have a long list, but we are winnowing down to the essentials.  New head (toilet and hoses), check engine transmission fluid and hoses,  scuppers checked, and maybe cabinetry in the fore cabin for more storage holds.  We have so many bins that are taken up by systems (A/C, water maker, heater duct work) it limits how much storage we have for parts and personal stuff.  We'll rent a slip here for a month and have the work done then come back and sail to FLA.  in December - that's the plan - but you never know.  I'll still blog even if I am not on the boat because this is all part of our efforts to get south and sometimes plans take detours for sure.  This is where the journey is the point not the destination.  So today Mazu got her run, and I got to play with her.

Walking out to our dockside tie-up on R dock (R for remote I guess).  We were at the end.  That advantage is privacy and quiet.
