Snow Goose breakdown

Apparently Snow Goose has deemed it needs a rest.  Upon fueling up and leaving Stuart, Fl, the batteries started overcharging.  A call to TowBoatUS put us in Manatee Pocket at a transient dock and they searched for an electrician (on a Saturday).  A gentleman stopped in and looked over the alternator, told Bill to pull it out, and he would be back on Monday morning and take it to his shop.  I am thinking Snow Goose wanted some more time in sunny Florida.  We have used the time to do some walking, exploring Manatee Park.  We saw our first two manatees when we were coming into the dock.  Wow, are they huge.  Unfortunately, I was distracted by the crippled boat and didn't get pictures!  Anyway, it seems we will be here in Manatee Pocket through Monday at best.  So much for sailing North.
