Things are going well.

We have stopped living on the boat, as of Friday.  On Friday we took Smokey to her tempory home with Phyllis and Peter (she's familiar with them and their house, and is ---within cat limits --- relatively happy there.  They have big windows with birds and squirrels, plus Peter dotes on her.
On Saturday we drove the 400 miles to Savannah in a rental car.  Visited Beth for the evening.  Actually she had a girlfriend party so I had a wonderful time with a housefull of girls.  Luke had a wonderful time going out for Mexican food and wandering Best Buy/Lowes/etc.  On Sunday morning, we left Savannah, drove south for 100 miles to Jekyll, and picked up our car.  Back to New Bern with both cars --- we were in a car from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with the exception of an hour or so at the Jekyll marina.  A LONG DAY!
Monday, Luke and Peter returned the rental, Luke went to the boat to do some "stuff", and I spent a lovely day with Phyllis.  Monday was also Luke's birthday!  A birthday celebration, complete with balloons, chocolate cake, and chocolate ice cream, awaited his return Monday evening.
Tuesday --- today --- we are both back at Latitudes.  The engine work is finished with the exception of a test ride.  We will spend most of the day moving off of the boat and hopefully getting her put on the hard for her summer storage.  Moving off of the boat is a major chore.  Lottsa stuff to take off and store.  There are also chores such as taking down our enclosure and putting a cover over the cockpit and such once she is on the hard.  More time consuming work. 
Smoke is happily waiting with Phyllis and Peter.  We will be back there tonight.  When we can actually get Latitudes on the hard will determine when we leave for home.  Will keep you posted!
