Got up and went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel. We then found a West Marine to look for a new barbeque. By the time we got out there, we had spent $1400 primarily because I decided to buy an EPIRB for our crossing of the Gulf of Mexico. For those of you who do not know what an EPIRB is it is a GPS safety beacon to notify the Coast Guard of your location in the event of a sinking or trouble . Two years ago, three football players were out in the Gulf and their boat sank and they could not be located. Two of them did not survive. If they had had an EPIRB, they likely would have been rescued. It took some time to locate the third person who did survive.
After going to Westmarine, we returned the car and came back to the boat where Brenda did the laundry, and I installed the barbeque and did other meanful tasks. We then went to dinner at the local café and had a great dinner and a bottle of wine.
Tomorrow, we start out for Florida.
