Nice nite, good to have air conditioning again.  Rode our bikes into get a new prop for the 9.9 engine, carburetor kit not in yet, went to the BiLo grocery store, first time at this one.  Back to the boat, prop on, motor running smoothly.  Helped Curt take apart the carburetor on the 2.5 engine, found out there was tons of sludge in it and most likely the culprit.  Cleaning everything up, just as Curt was putting the last screw in at 4:30, they called to say the kit was in.  On our bikes again, over the steep busy bridge to pick up the kit and back to the boat.  Decided to check out a locals Seafood Restaurant and ended up staying for dinner having a 1/2 lb shrimp, sausage, potatoe, corn on the cob boil.  Sure was good, fresh caught shrimp.  Passed up the steamed oysters.  Met a couple traveling up the river in their 35 ft Island Packet docked on the next dock away from us.  They invited us over for wine after dinner.  We got back to the boat, filled with water, took the dinghy out for a ride to check out the motor, can't believe how good it runs.  Curt's a good boat motor mechanic, good thing too.  Took a shower, put our bikes away while the No Cums were completely covering our bodies.  Went over to Nick and Gail's boat, they said they had just given up on being outside because of the bugs also so went down in their boat for good wine and good stories.  Finally saying our goodbyes 2 hours later at 11 pm went back to the boat in beautiful moonlit night.  Happy to have the air conditioner again.  Thanks Pete and Darlene.
