Titusville, FL


Here is the reason we are traveling north instead of staying in Florida for March.  Addie and Zoe are our
granddaughters in Atlanta.  They visited Aunt Aggie in Chattanooga before we started the loop.

We came just 20 miles north to Titusville to see Row and Gus Ambler.  We met them this fall on the river and traveled together for a week or so.  They finished their loop on Summerland and returned home to Titusville at Christmas.  We are so glad to be here.  It's exciting to plan something and then have it happen a few months later.  Tonight we're going to dinner with them and Henry and Diane from DeDe, who are also looper friends with Row and Gus.

While we are here, George and a mechanic, Phil, are trying to figure out why our fuel tanks don't pull equally.  We get diesel from the starboard tank but not from the port. This is irritating.  We list to port unless both tanks are full.  We are driving around with 150 gallons of diesel we can't access.  So they are working but not making any discovery so far, 2:15 pm.

Here is Phil in the engine compartment of Aunt Aggie.

Today is a rare rainy one on the boat.  A quiet rain is falling, which is peaceful.  I have a couple of books to dig into, so I am content.
