ONE LONG DAY

Wednesday John spent all day (7:30 til 4:30) in the engine room working on the generator. He replaced the impeller which was only slightly damaged. That wasn't the problem because it still wasn't working properly. He decided that it's a water pump that is leaking causing the trouble. So, the weather is not conducive to moving on in the foreseeable future (7 days), so John is going to try to order the pump and have it sent here ($$$$$$). The dock master told John that because it's Easter weekend coming up, there is a real good chance he could have the part by Friday. Planes will be going back and forth because of the holiday. We've got our fingers crossed. We can't anchor out for very long without the generator. By the way, John bought gas for the dinghy and the Honda generator. It was $6 a gallon. Yikes! At this rate we may be back in the States sooner than we thought.
