Jan 18, Saturday

As usual we got up and did our devotions. Then headed over to the farmers market, because it is Saturday. We did some other shopping and I cleaned the engine, generator and shower strainers. The outboard motor is back and it works! I am still not sure what the problem was, probably operator error. Jimmy (the outboard guru here) said that the engine was out of gas, and once he pumped it up it started just fine. I suspect that either there was something in the connection, or that I did not get the hose hooked up correctly, as I had gas in the tank and all the way up to the connector to the outboard. Oh well. In any case the oil got changed as well.

We have arranged to get the boat and the stainless steel polished, it is supposed to be a 3 day job and they start Monday morning at 8 am. We have a lot of it to polish, and the last time it was done was before we bough the boat in August of 2018. In the mean time, there has been a lot of saltwater on the stainless so it really needs to be done.

While at the farmers market, we bought a chicken, it is frozen and is a pretty good size bird. We are having Michael and Paula over for a BBQ lunch on Monday. I have to get our BBQ working or we will be cooking the chicken in the oven.

It was pretty windy all day, out of the north. Which makes us glad that we are in a marina.
