January 1 through 6, 2014

We are still hanging out at Gulfport, FL.  Our original plans were to leave here on Saturday the 4th but we had to stay over the weekend to have more work done on the boat on Monday the 6th.  When Charlie and Bob finished up our scheduled work Keith asked them to look at and test our house and starter batteries.  They found that both set were close to being dead.  Our very old battery charger was not set right and therefore not charging our batteries properly causing the charger to kill them or Charlie said murder them.  To make a long story short, we got new house and starter batteries and a new battery charger on Monday.  We should be good to go now (at least I sure hope so).

CO's comments:  Update on plane crash.  The pilot was in his 70's and  lost power.  He could have landed on the gulf course but he decided to put it in the water.  He is OK but his plane isn't.

Now we might not be able to leave on Tuesday because the weather is not cooperating for us.  High winds, cold temperatures, and waves over 5' in Tamps Bay are predicted for tomorrow.  The XO doesn't think we will ever get to Fort Myers.
