Went to Panera for a bagel this morning. Came back to the boat in hopes of being back in the water. The boys were working on the shaft. They had it and the prop on and we were back in the water before noon. Yeah!! We went on a sea trial with them to make sure all was well. Boy, it ran better. Jerry thinks we picked up 2-4 mph, and the noise and vibration levels are considerably reduced.
We fueled the boat so we are ready for launch in the morning.
I did laundry. Met a guy from Tunnel Vision (about 78 ft). He is ferrying the boat south for the owners. He said he had guns drawn on him twice in an hour from fisherman he had come up on. Jerry said later, he was probably doing 20 mph and couldn't slow down by the time he saw the boats. I'm sure the boats were swamped. He seemed like a nice enough guy, just clueless.
Weather is iffy for a go tomorrow. We plan to head out with Goldleaf.
