At the Marina
This morning we got up at 06:30 and headed up the ICW. It was Smooth with
minimal winds and Hot. The ICW was pretty shallow and there were some
seriously narrow spots that could never be properly navigated without some
form of charts. The channel is marked but the real deep part is so narrow
and there are so many shoals that I would not recommend it without
electronic charts unless you draw less than 4 feet. We made good time and
only bumped a couple of times. However, since it's a full day's run you
cannot count on high tide at every location so some of the bumps were at
low tide.
We arrived at the marina in the late afternoon and they put us on dock 15
slip 23. It took we two tries to get into the slip because of sliding with
the wind but the second time was smooth. We tied up and we got in a west marine run for
supplies then came back showered and made it to Happy Hour at the club house!
We got additional bumpers, line, water filter, etc
Moonshine is here and we were glad to see them and get caught up. We spent
most of happy hour with them. Monday Wednesday and Friday the marina has
free drinks and beer on tap. The events are well attended. After the
happy hour we went back to help with Anamaashi's solar panels and tying up
the boats properly. Sam and I ended staying up till 4am getting everything
adjusted and water filled.
When we went to start up the water pump after draining and filling the
tanks with fresh water it wouldn't pressurize. There were a lot of air
bubbles getting into the pump and it took a while. However finally after
cleaning out the pre-filter we got better flow and all is well. But 2
hours in the lazzerette looking for why the pump is not working is not fun
at 2am.
