Day 46 - the waiting game

Miles cruised 0, fuel purchased 0, slip fee TBD, daily high temperature 82*F and 100% humidity.We are living in air conditioned luxury. I cannot imagine boating in Florida and not having air conditioning. It is not so much the heat but the humidity.Last night we celebrated the birth of Eleanor Louise by going to the best restaurant in Port St. Joe. The restaurant is called Provisions. The food was amazing.The waiting game begins. Will the new transmission arrive on Monday? Will Robert install it on Tuesday? Will it work correctly during our trial run? Will we be able to move to Carabelle on Wednesday and will we have a weather window to cross the gulf? Lots of what ifs.The fish have returned to the harbor. We saw fisherman cleaning their catch for the first time since we arrived. We saw lots of mullet jumping also. David the cast net fisherman did not return today so I did not get the detail on why he has a plate in his head. I went to the fishing supply store and asked for local knowledge on where to fish and what bait to use. With my rubber bull minnows in hand Priscilla and I took the dingy to the suggested fishing spot. Lots of fishing but no catching on our first try.We are all just trying to pass the time until Wednesday when we should be able to leave. Lomg walks, farmers market and wandering around in gift shops help a little.One of our first world problems is updating our location with Direct TV. Tonight I was on the phone for 30 minutes with New Delhi. How do you spell marina? Tall a what see? It is the capital of Florida. Then 30 minutes with the specialists and still no local affiliates. We can only get national stations such as HBO and ESPN. We cannot receive CBS, NBC or CBS. Like I said first world problems. They cut me off by saying a special ticket will be issued to the uber specialists to send us local stations. That can take up to two hours.Carl (Chef) Wooden - quote for the day."The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt
