The last thing we’re waiting on before leaving here is also the last thing I expected that we’d have to wait on, a diver. Unfortunately the water is so disgusting lately that there is zero visibility and even these local divers who go into this nasty water day after day aren’t going in right now. We are hoping the water clears a bit and are tentatively scheduled for them to show up in a couple of days. The prop shaft is off and ready for them to pull it all the way back so I can slip the old one off, slide the new one on, bolt it up tight, and take off. We’re getting antsy around here.

So antsy that I finally gave up on the long hair and had Ali give me a cut out on the dock. She joked that I used to not want anybody to see her giving me a haircut and I told her that I have kids now, I have no more dignity.
