Dog River Marina (eleventh day) - 11/29/10

Still here......
Early this morning Sonny Middleton, who owns the marina and repair shop, stopped by to tell us that the shaft coupling had not come in as promised last Friday and after checking it was determined that it is not scheduled to be delivered here until Wednesday. He was a little more than just irritated and instructed his parts manager to call them and tell them to overnight at their expense now. So, if it does show up tomorrow, it will be sent to the machine shop to fit it to the replacement shaft and we can expect it to be installed Wednesday. Of course the shaft will have to aligned to the engine so maybe we will get out of here Wednesday afternoon but more realistic... Thursday. This is really putting a great big cramp in our plans of messing around in the Florida panhandle since we need to be in Port St. Joe this coming weekend to catch our ride home and it is close to 200 miles.

We did some more Christmas shopping to kill the day plus we won't have much time when we do finally get home. We are planning an early Christmas with our sons then road trips to our daughters before returning to the boat right before Christmas. We are really looking forward to a kid fix. Since you have already seen pictures of Ricki shopping ... none are attached.
