Road Trip
Finally moving forward
Thursday we drove a rental car to Ft. Lauderdale to US Metals to have them
fix the exhaust. We got all the pipe out and the muffler. When we
dropped the system off at the workshop they said no problem and were very
confident they could do it for us. hopefully in 2-3 weeks we will have a
new exhaust system made from Copper Nickle! I have the last parts for the
engine on order so we can ship it off to the machine shop to have the head
re built. The plan at this point is to be ready to head north by the end
of June so we can get on the hard for bottom paint in July.
On Wednesday evening the boat next to us was struck with lightning and the
one on W1 was hit as well. This is twice in less than a month hitting the
same point. Very scary...
I have received the "lab metal" so I can start fixing the heat exchanger.
I hope it works. We will find out. I will try it tomorrow.
I have picked up corn hole and have been playing with the other boaters
twice a week. I never thought I would like it but it's addicting and fun.
My mother's arm is getting better and she can get on and off the boat now
with barely any assistance. She still wears the brace sometimes but it is
a lot better. I'm pretty sure that by the time we are ready to leave she
will be ready to travel as well. I like it here but we are ready to move
on to our next adventure.
