Counting down to the Bahamas

Our weather window for a Thursday crossing still looks good.  However, we haven't worked through all the items on our To Do list......mainly installing a new water pump (cools the engine) that has yet to arrive (mail, FedEx, and UPS are all late today, of course).

David removing the old pump
Damaged bicycle box

Small dent between the "r" and "n"

Tern assured David that that dent would not affect the integrity of the frame.  So, we're keeping that bike.
Bikes on board.  Repaired bimini re-installed.

Said goodbye to the old dink

Our life raft has been inspected and recertified

Caribbean Canvas repaired the bimini which ripped in a storm in Fernandina Beach in January

West Marine wanted $35.99 for a look bucket.  David laughed and said he'd make one (cost of materials: $11).
As of this moment, our water pump has arrived....woo-hoo!  BUT, we have a date with Paul, Angela, Rich, and Kathrynn to have wood-fired pizza and beer in an hour...........pump installation will be an evening job. Stay tuned!
