This is our view from the boat at Boca Chica Marina at the Naval Air Station in Key West. What beautiful sunsets we have. We have been going off shore to a little sand bar in the dinghy for sundowners several afternoons a week. We have met some great folks! But we always make it back to JonNe' in time to watch this scene develop. The other afternoons we aren't out there usually find us at the Southernmost Beach Cafe' for sushi grade tuna sliders and a beer for me and a glass of Cabernet for Renne'. We followed that with Beer Boiled Shrimp at A&B Lobster House for Happy Hour and a cup of their Conch Chowder. Great Stuff!!
Now all of this was a follow on to removing the starter on JonNe's engine!!! It took us about 2.5 hours to get one bolt out, and I am NOT looking forward to getting that bolt back in place. But the ulitmate result was, the starter is good. So tomorrow, my challenge is to isolate the actual problem. Best case is corrosion in one of the battery cables - hopefully the negative line. The worst case would be water in a cylinder - but we are NOT putting much thought into that one!! We will know more tomorrow.
On the 16th the 3 of us - Renne', me, and JonNe' are leaving for the Dry Tortugas. We will be back what the dock on the 23rd. We are really looking forward to do this. It has been one of our goals while we are here. We will be going out with two other boats from here. Once back, we will begin packing for the drive back to Houston for the Keels and Wheels Classic Auto and Boat Show, where we will show Renne's Classic '55 Chevy.
Until we see you again, call us on Skype - Jon Siewers. We would love to talk to you live!!
