Day 27 Jan 13, 2017 Friday

Anchored West Palm Beach   FL           Friday the 13th

Beautiful weather.  We called Las Olas Marina in Ft Lauderdale this morning to confirm our reservations and make them aware a package would be arriving for us probably before we got there.  They informed us they had nothing for a boat our size and they would not accept a package unless we were in the marina the day it arrived.  Earlier this week when we talked to them they said sure no problem let them know when we knew our exact arrival date.  
We called the place shipping the bow roller and it had already gone out to Las Olas who is going to refuse it.  Now what?  We called Hall of Fame marina and they made a reservation for us for Tues and Wed next week. We are hoping to get another bow roller shipped there before our time there is up.  It is pretty pricey and we do not want to stay there longer than necessary.  If we did not know it was Friday the 13th before we did after our phone calls.  
I vetoed going ashore thinking we might get run over by a car or the boat would sink.  Safer to stay aboard. 
 We hunted for the rebuild kit for our toilet but it seems to have evaporated into thin air.  We are having problems that need to be fixed before long.We both took afternoon naps and Lee tried again to fix my online book problem. Still not solved. Not sure it can be.  I buy an ebook and it comes to his tablet and phone but not to mine. He always has his tablet so I can not read a book on his stuff.  
Our solar cells which kept the batteries charged up so well last yr do not seem to be doing such a great job this yr.  Can not figure out what is up with that.  We are running the motor now to charge things up and get some hot water for showers and dishwashing.  Sure will be glad when it is the 14th of Jan.
