Groceries and Uber
We ate
breakfast and listened to the news on the radio before heading in to St.
Augustine to pick up our new macerator pump for our sanitary system and fresh
water pump for our galley sink. We needed milk and bread as well.
We stopped
at a few shops while on our way to First Mate to pick up our pumps. Carla
purchased a couple of items for grandkids. Dwayne bought an extra 5 gallon
diesel can at Ace Hardware. We also stopped at Dunkin Donuts so we would have
something aboard for breakfast.

The pumps
were ready for us when we arrived at First Mate. However, we still had grocery
shopping to do across the bridge at Publix. So, we left our donuts and diesel
can at First Mate while we headed off to Publix. We caught an Uber to take us
back to the boat. On the way, we stopped at First Mate to pick up our pumps and
the things we left behind. Unfortunately, we needed connecting fittings for the
macerator which First Mate didn’t have in stock. So, Uber took us to West
Marine to get the fittings. Then, it was back to the marina. The Uber driver
got an over-sized tip for waiting while we made our stops along the way.
Carla made
dinner while Dwayne prepared to replace the macerator. It was soon discovered
the T-fitting bought at West Marine could not be attached to the macerator
without an extension fitting. As a result, the project was put off until the
necessary parts could be obtained.
We watched
an episode of Bonanza and went to bed. We won’t be leaving St. Augustine tomorrow
as planned.
