After finishing up the survey we were chatting about our small motor problems – the 5 hp Mercury, and the generator that gave us calluses trying to start it last year. He’d mentioned to Wayne, the last time, that he had 2 outboards for sale. I was keeping that in the back of my head with the problems we’ve been having trying to get ours fixed… He’d mentioned that he had some generators that he was taking in today to have the oil changed and tuned up. The guy he takes them to does pretty good work and charges $75 for the tune up/oil change. Wayne mentioned that that would be something he’d be interested in since we’d been having problems with ours, and Dennis offered to take ours in too. He said we’d get it back by the end of the week. Woo who! Things are looking up. We’re supposed to have our motor back by the end of the week so maybe we can be out of here on Sunday or Monday then. All we need to do now is get a copy of the survey sent off to the insurance company and we’re good to go past the Turks and Caicos’.
I managed to finish one side of the sail cover today. I have a feeling my neck got too much sun. I’ll finish the other side tomorrow. While Dennis was surveying our boat my phone had rang.. It was Mary Clare
I wandered down to the water's edge to check out the waterway and the Cape Dory (it's in the water now). Spotted a gator sleeping on the bank. Correct that - it's eye opened and it was watching me...time to head back to the boat.
Time for an Iced Tea… ahhhhh….
