11/20/08 BRETT IS BACK TODAY

Brett spent the last two days checking systems on our boat. Everything is great. The batteries were drained and one wouldn't charge. But he was able to get a new one and the engine started right up. The dinghy was in the water so Brett rigged up a pulley system and was able to get Knot Yacht back on board. Even the plants were doing well. Yesterday, he actually ran into Keith, who had been watching our boat. He hadn't been there awhile but stopped by there on his way to work in Mississippi. We are planning on getting together with him when we get back.We have decided not to go to Montana for Christmas afterall. It's getting too close to us returning and we are quite behind in the savings department, especially with this unexpected trip to New Orleans we decided to take. But we both found out that we were only going to Montana to make the other happy. So it worked out.
