October 12, 2012 Day 154 Green Turtle Bay Total miles to date: 3100.33
Late last night we
realized we had no water – at least no water was coming out of the faucet. Bill made a quick trip to the engine room and
unfortunately found water there. An improper connection to a water line had
come apart. We quickly turned off the water connections and let the bilge pump
take care of most of it. So…. Bill went
to a hardware store today to buy the necessary fittings, and was able to take
care of it. Another unplanned event –
but these things happen sometimes!
This afternoon, Loopers Champs III, Blarney Castle, and Fandango, arrived at Green Turtle
Bay. Almost all of the other Loopers
have left and are headed south.
We got together with Don
and Bernie on Snow Cat for appetizers
and talked until almost 8pm. We had a great time visiting with them! It was a
nice relaxing way to end a very busy day.
Tomorrow we will leave
Green Turtle Bay after having been here for two weeks. This was an excellent location to rest, have
our grandchildren visit, take side trips, visit with many other Loopers, and enjoy
great restaurants. We made good memories
here!
Today was another landmark
– we have been on the Loop for exactly five months. It is hard to believe how
quickly the days and weeks go by and that we have traveled over 3000 miles
since we left Yorktown, Virginia. We
continue to enjoy each day – even the ones when unexpected plumbing problems
happen just before bedtime.
