As usual when going to Galveston, we had to motor. Thankfully we had great weather. Ran a ground at the last marker going in. Steve tried to get us off with an achor but no luck. Some kids in a motor boat tried as well. Finally called for a tow. We were easily pulled off and pull far away from the oyster bed. Then, Steve set anchor right in the middle, way away from everything and everyone. Our new anchor felt very secure and we slept great. We woke to a beautiful morning.
Everything seem to work.
electrical systems, check
Plumbing, check
Stove, check
Water, check
Refrigeration, check
Outside grill, fail (needs attention)
Anchor, check
Sails and lines, check
Rigging, check
Leaks, none apparent
Engine, (needs attention, possible alt belt issue)
Dinghy, Tracie wants new one (need to configure storing issue)
So there are a few things that need adjusting but pretty good in our opinion.
While anchored Steve sailed the dinghy around
We went ashore for coctails with friends. Steve admired friend' sun glasses
