The best laid plans....

ah, well... you know how it goes.  Rain today, but that was good.  It washed off the coating of salt that we acquired on our trip across to FL.  We knew this would delay us by a day, but that was ok.  We know we have to have extra days in our schedule.
BUT.  Checking out the boat, Luke found a nice crust of dried salt on our engine (you know, the one that runs the boat....).  It's so thick that some of it has dropped off in little clumps. 

So, now we are at the marina, waiting for the "engine guys" to come out tomorrow and check it out. Luke did talk to the engine manufacturer, who said that it should be a simple gasket replacement, but we still have to get it cleaned, fixed, etc, etc. Bummer.  I'll keep you posted.
