Anyway, we are now in PA, doing Dr things, completing the social calendar items that pop up this time of year, and prepping life for the return to Scooter in the first week of January, 2019. There will be some maintenance items that need attendance before we get out of the dock. Some port side window leaks that the 54 mph winds uncovered, but, primarily, the bodily waste (sewage, Chuckie) retaining system. Seems that a.) the tank indicator is on the fritz, b.) the extraction system is on the fritz, or c.) or some d..n thing is broken. Could be as simple as a plugged hose, or it could require opening up the tank and manually removing the sludge to make space for more "stuff". Somehow, it will get repaired and we'll be underway again. There is always something lurking behind something else when it comes to keeping a boat moving.
Tomorrow, the canvas that needs repair heads to the shop for what we hope will be a timely fix. Should that come together expeditiously, we will be able to operate from the flying bridge; easier to see buoys, debris, etc. On really cold days we can run from the lower helm station. But, hey, we're headed South how can there be colder days?. Have a Merry Xmas, and a fantastic 2019. Our best to all, and to all a good night. Stay warm, safe, and content; catch you on the flip side!
