We decided to get the sea water impeller changed on the port engine since there was a Caterpillar expert here and the guys in Belhaven couldn't do it. The guys here realized it will take hours to do the job and will do it tomorrow. Thanks again Sea Ray for designing a boat that is a pain in the ass to maintain and costly to own!! We did change the generator impeller while we could. That only took an hour or so. So we did groceries, laundry and wine rack restocking today. We saw the waves coming on the beach in the Atlantic and there's no doubt an outside run is not on the cards during this Nor-Easter!
I fueled up today as well. More $$$$.
Tomorrow, we watch them remove the raw-water pump to change the impeller and then we can move on Thursday. It'll be windy but ok.
Enjoy the break and anticipation of the final leg ;) We all miss you!! I realized my messages for the dolphin pic never posted :S So jealous and please post more dolphin pics if you get them :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the trip seems to be costing a lot in repairs. BUT have you compared the total cost of boat repairs to the total cost of keeping the wine rack stocked??? HHMMMM!!!!????
