BACK IN THE USA


DAY 71 FRI. AUG. 12, 2011
DEP BLIND H. 07:OO  ARR. DRUMMOND I. 12:30
CLEAR, CALM COOL AM.  W. WSW 5K.
D. 44.4/1237.6

Finally back in the US. Filled Glory Days with 147 GAL. of fuel (NOT liters) and pumped out holding tank. There is NO town here, just a marina and customs check in. They actually send armed agents to check us in. We arrived as a group of 3 boats, followed by 2 more groups of 3 Loopers, and the agents checked every one of us. You would think they could be better utilized somewhere else stopping illegal aliens, but apparently our Gov’t. in all its wisdom thinks it more important to search sensior citizens. Worse yet, there IS NO WIFI!!!!! There is also no cell phone signal, what kind of country is this???? BTW, Glory Days has been averaging about 3 statute miles per gallon burning about 3 gal. per hour.
