Wiring
Engine wireing on a hot day.
Today Sam and I re-wired the engine harness labeling and making sure that
everything was sealed properly. Many wires are coroded inside because
they were never sealed properly. I will have to replace them eventually.
For now everything has new terminals a new terminal block and labeled
properly. It took us much longer than we thought to rebuild it.
everything was just a little hard to reach. We also took the opportunity
to clean out the engine pan again and got more water. Tonight Hannah made
burritos and she's trying to cook the oatmeal for tomorrow in a thermos
pan (thermal cooker).
I'm doing much better and do not feel sick any more. I'm glad. But also
my shoulder and my elbow hurts less. I think I've turned the corner and
they are finally healing. It's been nearly a year. The chiropractor told
me that if I didn't take it easy it wouldn't heal. But I couldn't take it
easy there was just too much to do.
On another note there was an evening radio net tonight about plans for
hurricane season. Ryan on Intrepid ran the net. I'm not sure yet what
our plan is but I hope we get the engine running before that happens.
As of now, we only have two options: 1 sail off the ball and get away
from the storm, 2 have someone tow us out of the harbor and sail to the
hurricane hole at the shark river.
The copper-nickle for the exhaust is on order and will be here in 5-7
days. Then they can start working on it.
