November 21, 2023 Southport, NC

Yesterday Myles changed the oil and worked on the transmission. Had a nice morning run today, complete with sunrise pics. We walked to get coffee/breakfast, to the NAPA store for parts, and to the ABC to get the makings of Manhattans & Old Fashioneds. Myles put the new pump on the engine. I took a local car service to get some groceries. A bit of rain, with more expected tomorrow. Still mild temps. The rebuilt autopilot arrived back today, so we have a backup system ready if needed. 

Southport is into Christmas in a BIG way. Even the fuel dock building is decorated. We think it should wait till after Thanksgiving, but no one asked us.
