October 26th,  Still in Carrabelle, FL.  made our daily trip to the hardware store.  Cannot find our sander and so we bought one !! The one stashed will show up any time now !! Looks like we have a dead battery that goes with the genny.  Rich is checking it out now. They weigh about 125lbs each and of course are not easy to remove. I have been working on photos and will try today to send photos of the Big Chute Lock on the Trent Severn Canal. This was built to not only be a lock but to keep a fish like an eel out of the water in the ahead. This fish sucks the life out of other fish and hasn't any  predators, but cannot survive being out of the water more than a few minutes (or maybe it was seconds)..Anyway by the time they put your boat back in the water, if there were any of these on your boat they are history. Well, I got the photos posted, but not where I wanted them, but at least they are posted.  The last photos were taken as I was sitting on the bow of the boat going down into the water.
