We had a weird day preparing to leave. We couldn't really make up our mind whether to leave the next morning or not, so we just kept chugging away at our list for preparing to leave the boat. I was still moving a little slowly. We planned on being gone a little more than two weeks (hah!).
Part of the problem was the boat was a disaster. I had received the replacement heat exchanger, but by then Guy and Wayne had moved on to other jobs. The heat exchanger install on the engine was now going to happen while we were gone. They needed full access to the engine from all the sides, so most of the crap from the back cabin was moved up to the front cabin. We had never left the boat in such a mess.
Now that the fall episode is mostly done we have pictures again. The wind was blowing another cold front in. I was taking yet another load of stuff up the dock to the car when I noticed this guy hanging out behind out behind our boat. Or rather gar, since I think that is the kind of fish he is. The wind was blowing from the north hard enough to make waves in our tiny inlet, so he was hanging out on the south side, and getting a little sun at the same time. I'm guessing he was about two and a half feet long.
Finally about 4:30 we were done with our list. We decided to get a few hours down the road and take some of the pressure off of the next few days. We made it as far as Macon that night. This was our longest road trip since I tore a chunk out of my butt almost two months before. It was okay, but I was certainly ready to stop after those three hours.
