The morning started out fine on our way to Brunswick, GA
but it progressively got worse. It was great going the first couple of hours
but by the time we were in Jekyll Sound and St. Simons Sound it was choppy with
a heavy current. We went through some rain squalls. We
reached Hidden Harbor Yacht Club on the Troup creek about
a mile off the ICW.
After we were docked I checked the engine and found a leak. Unfortunately the part needed has to be sent from Maine. It’s a special hose with an unique shape, a hose within a hose. I didn’t want to take a chance with jerry-rigging something as the next leg of the trip is 81 miles. I was told the part would arrive Friday - it was sent out Wednesday by FedEx 2 Day express. It didn’t arrive Friday, or Saturday and so now I’m hoping it will be delivered Monday.
Hidden Harbor Marina has a nice guest lounge. The marina is run by very nice folks; everyone is very friendly and helpful. 
We’re here for
more days than planned so I caught up on some small projects on the boat and also reorganized.
The lounge is on the first floor of the building. The top floor is the marina’s office.
Monday: The part was delivered, now it’s a lot more work to put everything together and get the engine up and running. Found out that the part was ordered from Maine, but was sent out from Duluth, GA (4 ½ hour drive).
