The boat is back at Sail Harbor and will be staying there. The new marina was further up river and required the use of a power converter that I didn't have. They were quite happy to sell me one for $165 which was
a ripoff since I could get one on the internet for $50. The nicer docks would have been nice but where we are is fine for now.
We spent the day cleaning and organizing. I worked on the antenna connections for the GPS splitter which seems to be working fine. I have to check on the wind generator connections as when I engaged it on our sail on Saturday, I didn't see the incoming charge. I am sure it is a loose wire from the re-installation of the arch and generator. One thing I am sure of is that water and power are precious and the idea of pulling into a marina every night will get really expensive.
The great news is that we put 25 gallons of actual regular gas on the boat, NO ETHANOL !! It was $4.48 per gallon but I felt the engine running better and producing more power.
We headed back to Atlanta by 5 and its still a long boring ride ( Beth drove ).
