Christy and Perry Saving the World

Today we start sanding. Before that though I go on the Cruiser’s net VHF and ask if anyone can help with our motor issue. A couple people mention people we’ve already tried but Hal from Main Bris (sp?) says to stay on afterwards and he’ll talk us through a few tests. Hal is very helpful…

Days are hot maybe getting a bit easier as we acclimatize. At the boat early, no sign of the sanders, no word on email. No response from Palm Tree Marine who may be the only company that can help with the Yanmar engine. After the Cruisers Net I call Andre at Spice Island Services (different…

Soon enough…

We left Huntsville on Saturday about 1 pm on a glorious day, spectacular. Gotta remember that it was below zero in the morning tho and plenty of ice on my truck. I am up early and working on shutting the place down. We had our showers last night before going to see Scott and Carol…
