Tuesday, November 30th. Yesterday the mechanic came aboard in the morning at Jekyll Harbor Marina and repaired the electrical problem with the fuel pump. We left the dock after showers and lunch and motored around the waterway. There was still some air in the fuel line and we needed to bleed it out. We dropped anchor outside the marina and took the Gosling into Jekyll Island and walked around. I'm still looking for an allegator, but nothing yet.
This morning we left Jekyll Island, running just fine. We pulled over for lunch off Cumberland River. The wind really picked up and we decided to stay. Bill replaced the bilge pump, and I got out the chrome polish. The wind isn't letting up, so we have decided to sit tight. I was hoping for Florida today, but guess not yet.
Wind is calmer this morning so we started out again, continuing to be hampered by fuel problems. We found a little river off the ICW to anchor. It is getting colder, but the wind is still calm.
Dec 3, we are in Florida!! Boy, is it COLD! We continued to have fuel problems and limped our way into St. Augustine. Again today a mechanic will be aboard. I am doing laundry and will get my hair done later. Then we will provision. We walked around St. Augustine last night. The Christmas lights are up again and it is so pretty. We'll stay another night at least. Happy Birthday Greg!!
