grounded I think I told you about my trip with my dad sailing up from NC to Baltimore many moons ago. One of the strongest memories I have was running aground in the allegator river. It was a tough long day as we were hard aground and a full wind. We had to get the coast guard to pull us off! Glad you were not stuck that hard.
motor Great news about the motor. Now you need to be able to duplicate what he did. Glad you are still making it. Its going to get more and more rewarding I think.
mosquitos I smashed about 50 of them. Ther are little mosquito smudges all over the boat. I never got bit though. Maybe because I covered up my head and only breathed through a little hole in the blanket. Never saw themafter that night. I'll see how it goes at Camp LeJeune. I've always heard there are a lot of mosquitos around here.
But what about the mosquitoes? All that is nice but inquiring readers want to know if you solved your mosquitoe problem! :) That answer might encourage or discourage riders.
Sounds like you are making good progress. Is the weather getting warmer? It pretty much sucks here in Richmond.
Looking forward to your next post. I'll drink to your progress tonight!

Good Luck! Hopefully you will have an uneventful trip down the canal to Coinjock. Wish I could be there. I'm thinking the weather here will just make the weather down in FLA look all that much better.
thanks Ha. I'll do it. Did you know you gave me a boat hook until next spring or until you guys come to the boat. I am bad at names but I think your girlfriends name is Amy. If not correct me and I'll change it on the blog.
Equipment update You should probably update your equipment list to include your new anchor, oh and dont forget to scratch off the 3.5 hp mercury outboard!
