So here we are, living on a boat up on stilts. They've given us the magnificent wide stairs so that I can bring home a pot of flowers and have a patio feel.
That lovely blue box and yellow tube is the on-the-spot airconditioning - absolutely essential, but sometimes not quite enough.
We have all meals out in the cockpit.
Today, we got good news. The marina manager has found a rudder for us that can be built and here by probably the middle of next week. Apparently rudders on the model of our boat, Catalina 34, fail more than most and a place is making two of them right now and will make ours alongside those. And it's a newer, better design, supposedly "high performance." So win/win. We don't have to stay here three weeks or more.
That's a little scary, 'cause we wanted to do so many things here (maybe new upholstery?) and now won't have them all done here. Probably get another chance if we stop somewhere for a while this summer.
We DID get over to Savannah for lunch a couple of days ago, but the town wasn't as quaint, flavorful as I expected. We'll go over again to the riverwalk sometime before we leave.
Anyway, there won't be much exciting to report or show for a few days - mostly working on the boat.

Good news on the rudder! Maybe you will have enough time to get some of the other things done too. Are you getting any rain? We had a thunder storm about 1p.m. Rained so hard I could not see he pool from my window and rained like that for almost an hour! I am really making good time on the baby blanket. It is very pretty and so soft. How are the card games going with you guys? Have a good weekend! Love to both.
