Florence Harbor Marina, Florence, AL:  After spending a week at Aqua Yacht Harbor Marina we finally got our generator fixed.  It has not worked properly since last May.  It wasn't cheap but sometimes you have to do what you have to do and we need a working generator.  Thanks to TJ it is purring like a kitten.  We also got several little things done and now we are good to go.  While waiting for parts and the generator to get fixed we got to visit with friends.  Keith hoisted a few scotch with Sam and Bill.  We also got together with Scott and Jin, the couple who bought the Sea Ray, and had a nice visit.  They are good people and will take good care of her. 

We left this morning and headed towards Chattanooga, TN, for the holiday weekend.  We have tried twice before to get there and something always came up.  Now I think we will finally make it.  It was a very hot and humid day but luckily we had a little breeze and that helped.  We traveled 44 miles at 1600 RPM's in 5 hours.

CO's comments:  It has been a long time since the XO has used her "landing loop".  I snuggled up to the dock and she snagged a cleat on the dock.  It is nice to have help when docking but we have become very comfortable with this boat and do just fine by ourselves.
