I decided to go ahead and buy new house batteries ( six 6 volt golf cart batteries) and a new battery charger. We borrowed the marina’s courtesy car and drove to Moorehead City to go to NAPA Auto Parts, West Marine, and Food Lion. The marina asked that we not keep the car over an hour so we had to hurry. West Marine was 11 miles away.
To my relief, Napa said that they would deliver the batteries early Tuesday morning. I bought the same battery charger that I was replacing so installation was fairly easy, but it still took me over two hours. Dora washed three loads of clothes while I was working in the engine room. We finally broke down and hooked up to the cable TV since the wind was predicted to keep blowing hard for the next couple of days.
Between the new batteries and charger and $100/night marina this stop has proven costly. At least we are helping the local economy. We bought some fresh fish and fried it for dinner.
