Monday 3/19/12. Today was a day full of anxiety and rattled nerves as we try to decide how to handle getting TwoGether home. And how do we get ourselves home. The local mechanic really isn’t keen on working on gasoline engines. He is a diesel man. He said he doesn’t look forward to reading the manual and setting up ignition timing etc. I can tell he really doesn’t want the job. So I don’t think I want him to do the job. It’s the only game in town: so wadda u do? I was told we can do as much boat preparation as we want while still in the water but once it is pulled out and blocked the marina staff must do everything.
We found a company that will truck her home. (The boat, not Linda) We have a lot of preparation to do before she can be loaded on a truck. The flybridge must come off and be secured on the upper deck. Everything on board must be secured for shipping. It’s kind of like packing for a moving van.
Rental cars appear to be a challenge. Enterprise will not rent us a car one-way. When looking on the internet for Budget and Avis each say there are no cars available as soon as I put in the drop off point as another town. We may have to rent a U-haul truck just to get a ride home. At least they are one-way.
The highlight of the day was a walk downtown to get an ice cream cone at Pampam’s Cupcakes.
