The mechanic checked out our engines and generator now that Laughter was in the water. The geni would not start at all and we needed the alternator rebuilt on an engine. In the meantime we drove home because our house had sold and it needed to be emptied and closing papers signed. When we returned the alternator had still not come back and the generator still would not start.
When I broke my ankle and Peanuts tumor was found I made the conscious decision that things happen for a reason and for some reason we were not meant to leave yet. I worked hard to keep my spirits up and attitude positive. We were coming up to two months as DYC and I admitted to Tom that I could really use a change in scenery and not just a nice car ride. I was tired of walking in a gravel parking, no view of the water from our boat and few people to talk to. Our second month was up in a few days and I did not want to pay to stay longer. Thank goodness Tom felt the same. A town that was only 11 miles up river so we went for a ride to check it out. We loved what we saw, but what about the alternator it still had not come. DYC graciously said they would have the mechanic bring the alternator to Urbanna since we had waited so long for it. Yahoo!
July 1 we pulled out of Deltaville and limped our way up to Urbanna on one engine. It was a beautiful day, flat water and we didn't care that we could only go 5knots, we were on the water!
