      Day 4

      August 24, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

      We had a spectacular day yesterday with a visit from the wonderful Pat Knapp. Dave showed her the boat and we had a great lunch and a walk. She very generously helped us out with an ongoing issue and we can't thank her enough.
      What Could Go Right? Well, seeing family is nice on this adventure. So, if you are ever so inclined to come meet us for a lunch or an overnight, let us know! We would love it. We have a lot to be grateful for and this easy pace is so relaxing.
      What Could Go Wrong? The dinghy motor breathed it's last breath and a replacement was quickly found! The rain has showed us many a leak in our tiny vessel and this very minute, Dave is running around with a hand drill and caulk! Today Dave replaces the propeller and tomorrow we should be on our way. The weather does not look favorable and some tough decisions are being made about route and destination timing. Stay tuned for how we fare. As you all might imagine, Dave and I do not always agree about which is the safest, best way to maneuver. Where Dave sees challenge to overcome, I see problem to face!

      Day 5

      August 25, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 72 °F

      Yesterday was a ground hog day. We did everything we did the day before, again. :) Pat came and saved us again. We had a lovely lunch. Dave fixed the propeller. We walked the dogs and then we cooked a nice meal on the boat and watched the sun set. All in all, for a repetitive day, not too bad.
      What Could Go Right? We got the propeller back on and the guy who fixed it complemented the age and tenacity of the brass. "They don't make them like that anymore." Seeing Pat again was really lovely. The sunsets make me smile every time. Our new dinghy engine makes life feel a little bit easier. It is so nice!
      What Could Go Wrong? All this rain has really showed us the light (is that a reverse pun) into the holes on our boat. That's a total bummer! Dave keeps working on them and they keep popping up. We started looking at new boats today. :)
      Best part of the day: A walk with Pat to the hardware store. It was fun sharing our adventure with someone.
