January 16th - Day 3 - Fixing the boat

Chris, our newest best friend, from Pierside arrives to fix the boat.

Chris determines that we had two problems.  A hose clamp had broken on a rubber tube on the port (left) engine exhaust tubing and a hole had developed in the rubber tubing on the starboard (right) engine exhaust tubing!  This all happened without either of the engines overheating at any time.  Ah, the joys of boat ownership.....As he needed some parts that he wouldn't have until Thursday morning and left around 3:00 pm we headed out to the beach at the Isle of Palms which was about three blocks away.

We then walked about two miles down the beach, stopped at a fish store and bought some great, fresh salmon and then headed out to the beach for a gin and tonic (we smartly brought our picnic back pack with us) and enjoyed a beautiful sunset.  We then walked back to the CU Later got out the BBQ grill and enjoyed the salmon and another night at the Isle of Palms.
