Sittin' on the Hard at the Port

On the hard is not much fun but the end may be near. Our spirits went down the drain early yesterday when Bill found out that 2 of the parts could not be obtained in this country and would have to be ordered from Japan. That usually means a 1-2 month wait. However--the next call a few hours later informed us that the parts were found in Georgia and would be here Monday. HURRAY!!! So the big question now is if they will be able to do the work next week.

In the meantime, we are walking the docks looking for critters. This morning there was a large group of birds feeding just west of the bridge. I ran to get my camera because there was some interesting pelican behavior. Gangs of 4 or 5 white pelicans would attack the smaller brown pelicans when they caught a fish. Of course when I came back with my camera the hundreds of birds that had been there were completely gone-go figure.

We are looking into a rental car deal so that we can get out of here this weekend.
