Stuck in Ft. Pierce
Well, the engine shop boss came out this afternoon and declared that we do, indeed, have a problem. Best scenerio, they take it apart tomorrow, fix it, put it back together again on Thursday, and have a test motor run down the intercoastal on Friday morning. sigh. But, at least we are in the very nice marina, at a slip leased by the engine shop for their customers. So, we're at a free dock, free electricity, free water, free showers, free internet, pool, cheap laundry, restaurent with $1.50 beer happy hour, etc. (of course "free" is relative when we pay for this engine repair). Also a fishing shop where we got a good deal on a new rod, so I can begin fishing when we leave here. Oh, and a canvas place where we're already gotten some canvas restitched at a good price. Within a block is a West Marine, Publix Supermarket, eyeglasses place (lost the screw out of my sunglasses a month ago), Dollar General, cheap pizza, CVS, etc. So, making lemonade out of these lemons isn't too bad...
