It was good to hang out with Terry. The gaming bar was entertaining. I've forgotten how much I enjoy pinball.

I must have been more fatigued than I realized. I fell asleep at the settee until 3am, moved to the aft cabin, and slept like the dead until 10.

Today's big task is to track down why the fresh water system isn't building pressure. I suspect some hose somewhere has come loose.

Here at Cooper River there is a lot of walking. Even just up to the laundry in the office is a bit of a schlepp.

Back again. It's strange that 86f feels "cool".

It's cooled down to a tolerable level.

The Uber driver was Ukrainian with a very thick accent interested in proper mountain climbing.

The first Uber driver bailed. I guess he couldn't figure it out.

It's a bit of a schlep to here.

Filled the water tanks. I suspect a hose has fallen off somewhere because the water system is not developing pressure.

Docking was less than graceful. The winds were pretty high. I last the aft as the wind caught it and swung me around. Ianagednto get a lines to two dock hands who were able to secure the boat.

The fresh water pump was running non-stop. There's no fresh water. I've tried to see if there are any leaks but so far I haven't found any

It is stupid hot and I got stupid tired. I just woke up groggy after an hour long nap.

Netter late than never. There's a good breeze pushing onto the dock.

Slowly getting ready for departure. I have a few things to put away and have to bring in the shore power cables.

It's proper hot again.

REMINDER: West system 610 epoxy.

To mount line poles Alex suggested epoxying some cut out pieces of plywood to the hull to form the mount for the poles.

Back at the boat. It looks like the electronics are done.

Alex has come up with a replacement plan for the AC which looks like it may work.

We're now tracing out power to the water maker to see if it works.

Got the 50ft collapsible hose.

Now sitting at Starbucks trying to to wake up. Really tired today.
