Goodbye, Starboard Engine!

We're still in Deltaville, VA. The offending starboard engine was removed this morning (note picture of big hole in our starboard hull) and will be crated and shipped to a Volvo repair center in Long Island. With luck, they'll be able to rebuild it and will get it back to us within three weeks or so. (A big caveat here, since boat repairs never seem to go quickly for us, with the exception of the steering repair in Solomons.) So, we're hanging out. It's cold and windy, but we're in a slip, with power (and heat) and getting other projects done between bike rides to keep ourselves moderately in shape! Hoping this cold snap will break just about the time the engine goes back in, and we can continue south, but we could just as easily end up heading home for the winter. Time will tell.....
