On Wednesday, March 19, we flew from Providence to Baltimore to Norfolk. The flight was uneventful other than being tired getting up at 4am. Norfolk airport is beautiful and not busy. We rented from Enterprise and really got rolled over. The first car smelled of smoke. The second car, a jeep, sounded nice and we didn't mind the side scrapes as long as they were noted. After driving 14 miles back to Atlantic Yacht Basin we realized we'd been had. The inside was dirty and eventually smelled of smoke. There was a ding in the windshield and the running boards were not on it. Jane had to hoist herself up to get in. After much to do we could not get a replacement so complaints were registered strongly and Peter returned the keep today without a gas refill.
We had the boat hauled while we were away to check the bottom, props, and rudder. Everything was ok except for replacing the zincs on the rudders. Unfortunately Jane discovered the same pine "stuff" had accumulated again clogging the scuppers. This time the hose pressure cleared both of them...whew.
Very Nasty Stuff!
Tomorrow looks like the day we push off for Rhode Island. Everything works after a quick check today.
