No rain today, but even though the sun was shining brightly, the cold wind continued to blow out of the north.
I trundled the blue wagon to a shopping center a couple of miles away and bought a bunch of stuff. Roy put his bicycle together and rode around, trying to find a place that could repair the radar. He found out the nearest Raytheon dealer and authorized repair shop is in New Bern, about twenty miles from here. Roy phoned but wasn't able to talk to anyone except the office clerk. She said they were extremely busy, but she'd have a technician phone him at the marina at five o'clock. No one ever phoned, however.
In the late afternoon, Roy tried the radar again, and to our amazement, it came on! Seems to be working perfectly now, so the problem is an intermittent one rather than a component failure.
I longed to go Royaking, but when I opened my Royak, it was full of rainwater, and my waders were soaking wet inside as well as out. I laid everything out in the sun to dry and sponged the water out of the interior of the Royak, but by the time my waders got dry, it was too late to go paddling.
