| We’re at one of the 40 ft docks in St James marina, very secure. |
A layover day is not a day of rest on a boat. The list of “to dos” was piling up and I worked my way through most of them today, but not all. We’re actually starting to look like a boat again instead of a traveling gypsy wagon.
Hoolie came down the stairs last night and slipped and crashed into the seat by the companionway stairs. he howled and cried for a minute or so but then settled down. We’ve taken to holding him by a harness to help him down the stairs gently. He also needs help now getting off Fleetwing. He’s 14 years old now and he’s starting to slow down some, not a lot, but some. In dog years, he’s older than us!

Like many marinas along the ICW, St James Marina has a large storage building for small boats. They stack them 6 high on racks inside, well protected. It has the advantage that you never have to paint the bottom since they are hauled out after each use. It also saves a lot of dock space for boats that can’t be easily hauled.
Our destination on Tuesday is Osprey Marina, 50 NM distant. We’ll see how Lockwoods Folly and Shallotte are faring as far as shoaling is concerned. I don’t anticipate any problems, I haven’t even looked at a tide table today. There’s no need to if you follow the Bob423 track along this stretch of the ICW. After that, it’s off to Georgetown the next day.

Hugs for Hoolie! He's very lucky to have you guys take him everywhere as part of your family. Great idea with the harness assisting him on stairs. Great writing, so look forward to the daily entries and pics.
