Temperature at 8AM was 36 degrees. I brewed a pot of coffee and wondered where to start the days chores. The rigging needs to be tightened and tuned. Also need to pick up Dave Luther. He called and is boarding the flight as we spoke. He will be arriving at West Palm Airport about noon. My cell phone battery is low. I cut a conversation with Shane short last night. The car charger has died. I will need to purchase another. Not sure how such a simple device can go bad but it did. I can check the connection in the car. The port used to power the GPS works and charges the GPS. However when I plug in the cell phone the charger does not work. Conclusion, the charger is bad!
Dave’s flight arrived early. I arrived at the West Palm Beach Airport about 30 minutes later. We headed back north on I-95. The drive back to Ft Pierce took just over one hour. Our first order of business was food. Allen’s is a locally owned resterurat and claims to be the oldest in the area. Great food is available at reasonable prices. Grits and fish make a very nice combination for a late lunch.
Our next stop was to Hutchinson Island. I had been talking with a guy on the internet that I met on Craig’s List. He is selling a Dingy. I have a need for a dingy as I have a 5.5 1959 Evenrude. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. The Craig’s list seller said that there was a small hole in the bottom the dingy and would sell it to me very cheap. I took the deal. Bought a patch kit and the hole is fixed. Took Dave to the 12A Bouy for conch chowder. Owner of the establishment is named Gene. This is a family business and he treaded us well.
Back to the boat and asleep by 10PM
