Heading to florida
- Thread starter Mirwin
- Start date
Mirwin, I'm no expert and have never travel up the Tennessee Tombigbee, but my reading of other stories has stressed the importance of a reliable motor and ability to keep it running.

That said I wish I could make that trip myself right now but I'll be putting that off for awhile till kids are out and done with school. I'm learning a lot from following you and now more of the stress of buying a boat and moving it from FL by sailing it probably just isn't practicable for my time and family demands. Also let me know if you plan to come through Lake Guntersville, I'll be willing to call our marine owners and see if we can help you out with a stop here and anything else too.

Good morning,
We are at destin blue water bay marina. We have a mechanic coming to look at the engine. We have decided that we will have all issues addressed before heading out. I am tied of breaking down and certainly don't want to get stuck on the TN-tom. We pray this can be fixed in a timely manner. We will keep you all posted. Looking forward to meeting you as we travel.

My understanding is this mechanic is the best! We have found the hot water heater has a leak somewhere, we haven't unpacked the boat to get to it. There is a leak or more with the heat exchanger, and the bilge float needs to be reconnected(we hope). This good delay our trip by two weeks
