Ship of Imagination for a Voyage of Dreams: December 2, 2023

We left Tennessee a couple days after Thanksgiving in a hurry to arrive to the boat and immediately leave for a rondeaux in Merritt Island with Bob to pick up the solar panels. We arrived and immediately rented a U-Haul trailer to haul the pallet to Bonita Drive. All went well with the pick up and then the unloading of the pallet into our new Conex. Carter had come down here about 1 1/2 months ago and purchased a 20' Conex. The delivery truck couldn't get it placed too far back into our property so Carter rolled it Egyptian style into place with 2 wenches. It worked great.

So onward to Merritt Island to pick up the pallet of solar panels.

As soon as we unloaded this, we went to return the rental trailer, and on the way back to the property, the truck decided to break down. We called triple A and got towed back to the property, leaving us with no ground transportation at all. So, we untied the Arc and headed for Palatka. Ha! There is always a solution. The first night we anchored out at Mason Creek. The next morning Carter pressure washed the top deck which is one of the first matters of business upon our return for the season. Later that day we continued on to Palatka and anchored at the SE side of Palatka Bridge which is within walking distance of the auto parts store and CVS pharmacy so I could pick up my meds.

We got the parts needed to fix the truck and headed back to the property after stopping by Crystal Cove Marina for the regular maintenance items.

Carter got the truck fixed just in time to head back to Tennessee for his final EPA Cert class in Lebanon. He will drop me off at the house and then head on over to the class.

We brought the Rebel down with us when we returned to the property and found the water was REALLY high after some pretty serious rain.
