Good Luck / Bad Luck

The Good Luck thing that happened was... we went to the boat Sunday to make sure she was still floating and it just so happened some friends on our dock had their diver out cleaning their bottom and replacing their zincs so he kindly got the line off our prop!  He said everything looked fine but of course we'll have to see how things seem with the motor running.  A Sunday, the day after Christmas, and there was a diver all suited up ready to go.  THAT was good luck.

The Bad Luck continues with trying to get a hitch so we can launch and retrieve our dinghy without having to make arrangements with friends.  The first time we tried to get a hitch we ended up with a totalled car (you may recall Matt was on his way to U Haul to see about getting a hitch on the Honda when he was rear ended by the hummer...).  I had ordered a hitch from U Haul for Matt's new car and I had an appointment today to have it installed at our local U Haul location.  The very nice guy there called a short time later and said it was the most complicated hitch installation he had ever seen and he was not comfortable doing it.  He referred me to the U Haul in San Francisco as they have installed hitches on this type of car before and are comfortable doing it.  Now I just have to make an appt with them and take the car up there.  Sigh.  I do respect the person at the local store for not plowing ahead with something he was not comfortable with. 

We plan to stay on the boat tonight... There is supposed to be another storm blowing through so it might get interesting...
