Okay, Okay, Okay so I got a little nervous and jumped the gun!! When I pulled up the weather info on my computer I saw it was coming in on Sunday night, and I never know what day it is, so we made a plan for the storm. Turned out it was Saturday and we didn't have to batten down the hatches until today. We were headed up the river with winds blowing pretty good on the nose and choppy water but other than that(what am I saying that's all its been) it was a normal day on the water. We got an early start so we could put down some miles and maybe a little less storm. We had have lots of boats pass us today I guess the holiday weekend has begun.We had made a reservation at Kilkenny Marina a good little hurricane hole thinking we would arrive about 6pm only we were making such good time we got there at 2:30pm and decided to keep heading north. Our next challenge was Hell's Gate., a very narrow,  shallow channel. this one we  took slow. Carl yells as we get through it "Not this time devil we made it through and cheated you" perhaps he was a little to strong with that statement... We were just out of Hell's Gate maybe 1/4 mile when we developed a fuel problem again...Guess Carl spoke to soon, as the devil came to get us...We dropped anchor as we were in very large water and Carl got out his trusty tools and tried to get us going again. to no avail.. As you can see by the pictures that's when we called SeaTow..They were having trouble hearing us on the radio so Carl went to cellphone. What a wonderful item they can be when you need them.. Carl thought maybe we were to low on diesel and perhaps we had air in the lines so he asked for fuel.. It was decided by Carl & Chuck with SeaTow that they would tow us to the closet marina so we could tie up, fuel and fix whatever was needed.That service paid for itself already.. Towed to Landing Marine, Delegal Creek. This was a very nice marina, two men came out right away when they saw us getting towed and helped tie us up. Billy the dock master was kind enough to reopen his pumps, turned out we got there after he had already closed up. Once opened we filled out tank,it  turned out we still had 10 gallons left , so we shouldn't have had a problem with air. It was decided that we should change the gas filter as that would probably help. As always Carl got out the tools and went to work. In the meantime Bella was going crazy to get some shore leave, so we headed up the dock for a stroll around the neighborhood, and what a neighborhood it was!! This was a gated community where everyone drove around in golf carts, very nice. We sure didn't have to worry about our safety here. Bella met a couple of little boys who were more than willing to run around with her.(better them than me). Once they left a couple of schnauzer's came by and she wanted to play, they didn't , where does she get her manners.. or should I say lack of manners..I had to pick her up she was so excited. You would think she lived on a boat or something..
Carl got the new fuel filter on and the boat but itstill wouldn't start, so a call to my brother Mike and next thing you know we are up and running. Carl was bleeding the fuel line by hand and it needed to be power bleed. We pulled away from the dock and anchored across the channel for the evening. It was a late dinner and early to bed as we knew we were gonna try to make Savannah today.and we had to go early. Heading for a dock soon.Storm update tomorrow.
