We spent one last day at Sharon and Buddy's - ended it with another relaxing trip to the Irish pub in Venice. In the hallway leading to the back door to the pub, there is a barber shop. It was closed when we walked by....but they apparently leave various "celebrities" in the chairs overnight.....someone has a nice sense of humor!
Today we did another "provisioning" run since we won't have access to a car for a long while. This all fit in the dinghy!
Unfortunately, during the dinghy ride back to the boat, the motor's coolant water stopped "peeing" and we got an over-heat alarm. Luckily, we were right at the boat so we didn't have to row.
Duane took the motor apart (once we lifted it out of the water) and found a damaged impeller. Strange because the motor was serviced with a new one just 6 months ago. (This is just the lower end of the motor).
We found a new impeller at a Honda dealer in Venice - Buddy picked up
the impeller and will bring it to us tomorrow morning. Once that's
installed, Buddy will join us for our trip southbound towards Key West!!
...funny barber shop...and that's a lot of food...glad you got the impeller fixed...otherwise that'd be a lot of rowing...
