October 31, 2012, Still at Dog River Marina, Mobile, AL

Wednesday:  In the past few days the winds have died down some and it was in the 80's with lots of sun shine. The marina has been working on both Roy El and Kim Jo IV and they should finish  Roy El Thursday and they finished ours today. So, if all goes well, we should leave here Friday morning and head for Orange Beach, FL, to the Marina at the Wharf where Roy and Elvie have good friends. Actually, they have good friends almost every stop because they have been cruising for so many years.

We are very happy with the work that Dog River Marina and Boat Works did for us. Their people were very thorough, friendly, and took the time to explain things and they also got things done in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend having your boat work done here.  They have a loaner car and it is fairly close to a Super Walmart and Lowell's.  Also, there is a West Marine on the premises.  Today it has been 4 years since I retired.  Amazing how fast time goes.

CO's comments:  We found our why our generator didn't work. When the batteries were replaced, the interface was not reset for the new batteries.  Therefore, they were not being charged properly.  When one reached full charge, it shut off and the other 3 did not completely charge and we were not getting enough voltage to run any thing.  The whole system is now set and working properly. 

Got up this morning and the tide had changed and the XO could not get off the boat without help.  We are in tidal waters again.
