It looks like we won't get out of Grand Haven until Thursday at the the earliest. The projected winds are going to gale force tomorrow which means the waves get big also - up to 12 feet. We have the boat tied down in this slip so it won't move to much. However it may give me some time to fix a few things things. The VHF mike died just after a call on our trip here on Sunday. Everything works on it except the transmit. I am going to look at it with our friends from Windsong tomorrow and see if there is a loose wire in the mike. Failure to fix it means a discussion with the folks here at the marina who are apparently Raymarine service reps. Also want to have another discussion with Raymarine about the fishfinder which is not working. Had some discussions on Friday but then they were closed for Labour day weekend.
Brenda cleaned the boat today while it was raining and once she finished that we decided to go to town for lunch. Tied up to Windsong and they decided to join us. After lunch the ladies said they were going to do a little shopping in this little town. Well 2 hours later they returned.
Also found out that our niece has not received our cruising permit which was to be mailed to her by US Customs and Border Patrol. I think we will wait until Chicago before we start following up. After all it has only been two weeks since we left Drummond. Hopefully no problem, but if there were I would think we would have been notified by now. Ah well, all part of the adventure.

Hey no rush to Chicago...is there? I know Chandra has a test next Monday and Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteDo you have air conditioning on your boat? Cleaning the boat in the rain can be hot and sweaty since you are so enclosed. Been there, done that. Tell Brenda to keep on shopping! Prices in the States are great! (especially wine and tequila!)
