ALA / LSU

We are parked at the most beautiful place we have seen on the trip.  We are at Blue Bluff at Mile marker 358 next to the Aberdeen Lock.  We are here at the perfect time, no one else, just us. We are at a courtesy dock beside a well manicured park. It has a couple of small pavilions and a boat ramp.  We have seen two boats and one person sitting on the dock fishing.  The bank is high and has a stair leading to the top. We dinghyed to the stairs and walked to to top.  Some of the boards were missing and Denniese fell in between.  Made for a nasty bruise.  I doctored on her and gave her an extra portion of wine and she is getting better.  Last night we starting listening to Ala/Lsu ball game and the radio stopped working.  We have no TV so radio is it. After lot of tries we found if we plugged the electric toothbrush in, the radio would work.  I know... It sounds stupid and I can't explain the electrical system but we got to listen to the game and that's what  counts. Jim Mattingly came to our rescue today.  He is the prior owner of this boat.  After all the fuel problems we have had I decided to contact him for advice.  Not only did he suggest a course of action but he remembered he had an extra fuel pump on the boat that would solve our problems.  I installed the part and ran the engine for 30 min and it did just fine.  Thanks Jim!!  We will depart in the morning and hopefully make Carrolton, Alabama famous for the face in the window.  Maybe I'll tell you next time.
