Day 54
We had anticipated on being able to leave today, however, we will be staying on at least one more day. Grant has found a few more things wrong with the engine and was unable to fix the bilge pump. An electrician of sorts did come out and work on it, and found the problem, however now Grant has to find a way to mount the float for the bilge. The weather is nicer today, a little warmer and calm. Tabbie spent the day in the Marina store on the internet, doing all sorts of research: jobs, apartments, marinas, etc. They have high speed here, which is always very nice. The employees at this marina are very nice and friendly. Willing to help out with anything. And the showers are clean too!
We hope to be able to leave sometime within the next two days. Grant has another guy coming to look over the engines to tell us what we need to change due to the salt water. We would feel much more comfortable knowing the boat is set up for salt water when we try to make the Gulf crossing… We will spend one day in Apalachicola and then make the crossing to Clearwater, which is right outside Tampa. We have begun to look for Marinas that offer long term docking. Tabbie found one on a river that is almost downtown Tampa. If we could get in there, that would be very beneficial to our job search. Tabbie continues to get very positive responses to her resume and applications. She is particularly interested in Pharmaceutical Sales. There seems to be a high demand for these salespeople. Maybe because of the elderly population? She has also looked into some Recruitment positions. There is a lot out there to choose from. It is nice to have options. Now we just need to set up the interviews.
We are excited to get home and see everyone, although our time may be short. We will have to get back to Tampa quickly. We anticipate that we will be in the cities from Mon-Thursday and then Eau Claire from Friday to Monday. The time seems like it has gone by really fast for us. We are both looking forward to working again, although in a few months we may say that we miss being on the boat. On to our next adventure….
