One of the places that Kelley and I had wanted to investigate more was Fort Myers Beach. This was where we were when we discovered that the alternators were not charging the batteries. This time we hoped to stay for about 4 or 5 days. We got a mooring can, #54, and settled in.

Alas, the refrigerator was broken. Kaput!  We moved food to the outdoor refrigertator and all of the TONS of frozen food into the ice maker. This meant though that we would need to have the generator running a lot. Kelley instantly got on the phone to locate a replacement. Success. Now, where do we have it dropped shipped?

We went to pay our mooring fees and talked to the manager at the Matanzas Inn (which is where you pay) if he had a suggestion for a shipping yard where we could have the refrigerator sent and then someone would help us put it in. He said no, but, have it shipped to them and he would get a couple of guys to help Kelley put it in. People are so nice here. Kelley arranged for the shipping and I should have a new appliance in a couple of days, and it isn’t even my birthday or Mother’s Day!
