Not Gone Yet

May 3, 2008 Sunshine is still at Wilmington Marine Center. We are working on the boat and cleaning things up after all the repairs of the past weeks. We will go back to Mooresville on Tuesday so that we can vote. We will then return to Wilmington to depart. We have met several boats here at the marina who have done the loop or are in the process now.
The alligators are back out. There is one in the marina which is much larger than any we saw last year. People are guessing his size to be 10 to 12 feet. Muriel does not allow Carlie to even walk on the dock on the leash. She has to be carried to the grass before she gets down.
Today is the christening of the nuclear sub North Carolina. The Coast Gaurd boats with mounted machine guns fore and aft have been in and out of the marina all weekend. The river is closed today to all traffic north of the marina.
Muriel has made new curtains for the salon. They look very nice and add a homey touch to the interior.

Yeah! Your first blog entry... congratulations. We would love to see some images of the boat now that you've got the construction zone cleaned up.

thanks for posting. Let Anne or I know if you have questions about how to add images.

nice to know that you are able to vote! It really will count this election! will you apply for absentee ballots or will you be back for the general election? I am thankful that Carlie has not become aligator bait. Thanks for keeping her safe. I am going to link our blogs together. I have one called c'est la bead!
Cheers!
