We did not end up sailing overnight on April 13 as the auto pilot was acting up and the wind was too rough. We instead went inside at W. Palm Beach into Lake Worth. We anchored for the night in Lake Worth and turned the generator on to rechare the refrigerator and freezer. The generator turned itself off and we could not get it to stay on. Charlie worked for several hours trying to fix it.
The morning of April 14, we called the manufacturer and found a service person locally. Then we found a marina to go to so we could plug into shore power and recharge the refrigerator and freezer. The workman came about 4p.m. and fixed it or at least found out what was wrong. We walked to Rivera Beach Marina Tiki Hut for dinner...ate Maine lobster; it was very good and sweet. This marina is supposed to have internet but it only works in the office where we can get plugged into the ethernet when they are open.
We plan to sail outside to Ft. Lauderdale and anchor overnight before we proceed outside to Miami and Coconut Grove where we plan to visit with friends for a few days.

Hi Mom, I think your last part of the message got cut off! I hope the generator is now fixed? Sounds like you all are really experiencing the true Cruising - i.e. getting your boat fixed in exotic locales :)
