Sunday 3/18/12. It’s another beautiful spring day in Georgia. We spent most the time just chill’n and trying to put the engine problems on the back burner. Tomorrow there will be time to deal with that. Our minds were kept from wandering by watching the NASCAR race in Bristol TN on TV.
Late in the afternoon the “Star Florida” was ready to leave her moorings at the bulkhead just down river from us. We heard the whistles on the two tugs when they arrived. It was like having front row seats . After the tugs had pulled her from the berth they moved her down the river backwards until there was enough water to turn her around. It was like watching a ballet of ships in slow motion. Every move was choreographed with perfect timing. The whole process took nearly two hours.
We ended the day eating with Papa John. The delivery boy said, "I've never dilivered a pizza to a boat before".
