Workday, but first we take the time for blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Then we carry laundry to their small laundry-mat for Linda. My job is to wash the boat, aside from being covered in salt from the last few days it is getting rather dirty. Our friends Mark and Karen from New Bern are coming to visit us this evening. They are currently living in their RV in their driveway. They had over two feet of water in their first floor of their home in Fairfield Harbor. The house has had all the water soaked materials removed and the house has been dried out. They have been so busy, they have not had the time for it all to sink in. They plan on heading south on their sailboat in a week and will catch up to us soon. They will probably raise their house in the spring when they return and rebuild the first floor.

The autopilot had stopped working reliably and I have been hand steering the last two days. I assume the crimp connections to the fluxgate compass are the problem, so I cut them off and solder the wires together and cover with shrink tubing.
We finish cleaning up the boat before our guests arrive. We spend some time talking with Kathy, a Catalina 36 owner on the end of our dock also heading south.
At Yawl's we all have excellent dinners and come to the conclusion the Cafe is better than the restaurant and cheaper. The marina manager also tells us the same when we check out in the morning.
