Visit to "LIittle Washington", NC

It's October and we're secured along the docks of the Pamlico Plantation (Broad Creek off the Pamlico River) for about 6 days.  Morris and Elizabeth Thorpe are our hosts here at the Plantation.  It was great to see them, and an excellent time to complete the refrigeration work, and some electrical work (Generator Grounding System).

This weekend we'll shove off here, and make our way back down the Pamlico to meet the S/V Myosotis. 
The goal is to be down at St. Mary's GA for Thanksgiving.  That should be doable without major effort. 
Weather permitting we'd like to go offshore more than the ICW, but we'll see.

While at the dock here we replaced the Lube OIL heat exchanger that cools the lubrication oil for the main engine (Perkins),and the transmission (BorgWarner C-71).  Either something inside  the oil cooler (like a tube brazing joint) came adrift, or it just corroded a pinhole in the tubes, but we started to literally "pump" our engine lube oil over board through the engine exhaust.  Not Good!.  Three years ago, Susan and I replaced the transmission on the AB, while at a dock in Dinner Key, FL.   Not a fun job.  We seriously want to take care of this transmission, and, of course, the Perkins.

Another new addition (actually a relacement)  was a Toaster Oven.  The controls on the old oven bit the dust, and this one will take a full 12" frozen pizza...  yeah !!!    Plus it has a convection oven feature too.
