hurry up and wait

As related in the last post, we tied up at the city wall in Great Bridge, va. Nice place and nice people. But, as we are winding down Fri night, the Generator is running to run the heat. After the gen quits  we discover a leaking injector line. Damn. When we get up the next morning, it is cold. So we move to the marina on the other side of the bridge. BUT, it is Sat...nothing open until Mon. As this is by far the best place to get repairs, we decide to stay. Monday I order the line. One left in existence. Now the over night shipping got goofed up so Wed. But being we are plugged in, it is warm place. Wed it comes in, installed, bled and running. Now about where we are.

As I have learned, the Atlantic Yacht Basin is the premiere boatyard coming down the east coast. There are separate buildings for the wood shop, fabrication, etc. Now what is really cool is the in the water storage. it is all covered! And on three sides. These boats from probably 100+ ft down to 30 are all stored basically inside, but in the water. And we are talking acres here. See the website, it is amazing.  atlanticyachtbasin.com. Look at all the buildings. Now a 70 footer came in from outside for a water pump repair. sitting in front of us.
 Check out the pics.....I call it eye candy...or boat porn.

These beautiful boats store here ...including the presidential launch, the Sequoia. Lots of high end boats.
