Waiting in Bristol to hear from harbormaster. I don't know if I'll be able to get onboard today to see why it's riding low. Rainy, crappy day for it, but next few days are supposed to be worse. I'd left a message with his office once I got here, but they said he's busy and would call me. Bryan apparently left him an email, as well. I don't want to leave unless I know where I stand. Someone called earlier but I didn't have a pen to write down his info and he said he'd call back with his number about a mooring. Hoping that we can pull something together.
*sigh*
EDIT:
Had no battery power to run bilge pump so harbormaster had to bring portable pump on board. 4-6 inches of water in galley, half-full v-hold. Also, bilge pump hose had come loose again, big surprise. Could not have waited, as we are going to have a long stretch of heavy rain. (Should not be as bad as Irene, though.) The straight poop is that we have to move it as soon as possible, and he understands that getting down here is an issue. He said to "just keep him in the loop." Once we get the details arranged for moving the boat to the new mooring, we will be allowed to tie up at the dock for one day while we charge the batteries overnight, then we have to move it. He was kind and wanted me to stay calm, but that was not going to happen today. He's done above and beyond for us, and I apologized to him for the whole mess.
For a moment there, I was thinking about whether we need to call a salvage yard. I'm more concerned for my kids belongings. If things work out for the new mooring, at least we have somewhere to store our stuff until Oct. 31st. After that, I really don't know.
