We departed Murfreesboro Saturday morning at 0545 for the long drive to Gulfport, FL. We almost turned back after realizing that we left Denniese' cell phone at home. But she nixed the turn around saying she was on vacation and if anyone needed her they could call me. We arrived in Gulfport at 1830 to thunderstorms. But the weather settled down and we enjoyed the rainy night on board. We had a local service clean the boat for us. It was the first time for that and it was worth it arriving to a clean boat. Sunday we woke at sunrise to a busy marina but we both smiled as we enjoyed our coffee on the aft deck
.
Work begins as we get the boat ready to move north. Denniese cleans and makes it a home again and I check the systems. One by one the different parts of the boat need to be made ready. I believe a boat is a mystery all on its own. Things were going exceedingly well when the batteries overheated and almost did some damage. Two hours work by both of us and then two more hours for them to cool down and I started the charging system over again. Did I mention that this started at bed time. Remember on a boat "Nothing, absolutely nothing will work 100% every time each time"
Maybe next time we will have pictures. Mike, Denniese and Maggie Mae
