Apalach and back at Anchor

Things are going well and lots of repairs are finalized, so I left the marina today and went back to my anchor spot.  Now i'm going to start planning my next journey south.  It's looking like an overnight trip to the Tampa area is where i'm headed.  More on that later.

Today i had the marina supply store in Eastport deliver me a new site glass for the raw water strainer. (what i broke yesterday)  So things are coming along.  Before departing the Scipio Creek Marina today i got the aft holding tanked pumped out.  (the holding tank holds the black water.  not the grey water like from washing dishes, black water is the stuff from the toilet.)  This makes the list of completes:  Packing replaced on the rudder, hydraulic leak fixed in steering, replaced all 4 fuel lines.  This is a great list of stuff done.  Now add holding tank to that.  Next i want to do an oil change on the Genset and fix the strainer and install it.  

While ashore tonight receiving my part from the supply store, i had some food at the restaurant, "Up the stairs."  Crab Brochette and Carrot cake.  Then i motored back to the boat.  

note:  i was just typing and fell asleep right here.  so i'm going to sign off and go to bed.
