Preparing to Move South

We spent the day preparing to cast off tomorrow.  Carla had a 0715 doctor's appointment.  So, we were up early.  After the appointment, we went to the Metro Diner for breakfast.  The diner was featured on "Dives, Diners and Drive-ins" on the Food Network.  Carla had SOS and Dwayne ate one of their specialty omelettes.  They are now franchising the diner and have locations in Jacksonville and Daytona. Let's hope the quality of the food remains the same.

After breakfast, we did our grocery shopping.  Upon returning to the boat, Dwayne changed the engine and transfer oil.  He also checked instruments and radios.  Carla filled the water tanks and cleaned the cockpit.  We mounted the Lifesling with its new cover (a Christmas/Birthday present from Carla to Dwayne).  All systems appear to be ready for departure tomorrow.

Dwayne treated Carla to dinner at the Kingfish Grill at Camachee Cove.  It is allegedly the best fresh fish restaurant in St. Augustine.  Dwayne had the mahi mahi tacos which were wonderful and Carla had a mahi mahi caeser wrap.  Happy hour prices were very reasonable and we'll be back for more in the spring as we head north.

We finished the day doing laundry and watching the New Hampshire Primary results on TV.
