Awoke to dense fog, so we knew we weren't going anywhere for several hours. This did give us a chance to stock up on some "necessary liquids" and settle up with the marina with out rushing.
OK, off we go. The engines started, however, the generator failed to start. No way! This is critical to our journey and the battery was almost dead. John drove to a nearby hardware store to get a replacement. By the way, did I mention he had already purchased a new water pump since the present one sounded like it was on its last leg? Just a couple of minor details to take care of! Once the battery was installed (and worked!), we were all set.
Finally at 1:30 p.m., John untied the Panacea and we were off to new adventures in our lives.
