Wk 5 – Mon.Apr.20/Day 51 to Sun.Apr.27/Day 57:
Paid for the work done by SYW! $$$ Took the Portabote motor off the dinghy transom and laid it in the dinghy. We found our WiFi connections were erratic and worked on how to improve it. Our sump float jammed causing an overflow and emphasized the need for regular cleaning; and I replaced its float switch; and found a vacuum leak at the duckbills. Also found that the new holding tank monitor was not reliable! Cleaned all four strainers and finished the diesel on-line course. Frustrations with making the VB bed! Marg making biscuits. Covid restrictions were being reduced while more people were now masking. Our Looper friends left for Carrabelle. We leave May 1.

Wayne - 23 Apr 2020: Interesting how your wifi situation is similar to RV Parks. Talked to one RV park owner about how sporadic the internet was and his reply was "it's because of all the seniors watching net flick, if you want faster speed try after 9:00 pm when all the old people are asleep". There is some truth to that. Glad you are now able to think about moving on, safe travels.
Jim R. - 23 Apr 2020: Try to get over to St. George's Island while at Carabelle. Nice place. Of course, sadly probably vacant now.
