Annapolis June 22

UWe have had a very nice stay in Annapolis. Both Saturday and Sunday we went in for lunch. Saturday I went to church at St Mary's. We did not shop there is no shopping in downtown Annapolis. Saturday night we got about 3 or 4 inches of rain judging by the dingy.

Today we hope to go to J Gordon & Company to have them look at the stuffing box. We would like to go to at least Alantic City Wednesday then on to New York Thursday. This is all weather dependent.

The weather continues to be beautiful but warm. Today will be over 90 and Tuesday over 95.

If we can get to New York Thursday then we will be able to start planning our trip HOME.

First we have gone to Gordon's a company the Gordon Crowe found for us at The Annapolis Boat Show. They did not do any work for us in October, but we're very nice and seemed to know what they are doing.

We pumped out on Saturday, got diesel this morning and are filling up with water as I write this. I decided to come to Gordon's because they say right on their web site that they repack stuffing boxes. Hinkley did not give me total confidence that they had ever stuffed a Edson box before.

We are also going to get them to fix our alternator control box. This broke as soon as it got water on it. For the past week or so the alternator has not been charging our batteries. When we go to a dock we get everything total recharged, but though it should be fixed.

The teck person is at another job but will be around by noon. The alternator part will be in by then. We will then go as far as we can in preparation of setting up tomorrow for a trip to Atlantic city or Barneget Basin on Wednesday. This sounds a lot like planning, but it is all dependent upon the weather. It sure would be nice to be in NYC Thursday night.
