It's a date! Oh wait, no it's not.......

This episode is brought to you by the letter F.  

We've been looking forward to today for several days.......we'd finally been put on the crane schedule!  Since our current engine has been disconnected from all other components, our boat was going to be ferried over to the haul-out well and the crane was going to sidle up beside Virginia Dare, pluck out the old engine, and lower in the shiny, new engine.  But, we were thwarted late this morning as the winds built up to 15+ knots.......too much wind to maneuver us to the other end of the marina.

FANTASMAGORICALLY FRUSTRATING!

The new engine has been sitting here for FIFTEEN days!  We were up and at 'em early this morning.  The camera was ready.  The sun was shining.  It was just. Not. To. Be.  

Our collective patience is running very thin these days.  We're at the mercy of many schedules as well as the [winter] weather.  Right now, I just want to scream a one-syllable F word, but I won't.....I'm keepin' it clean on the blog.  So, stay tuned.........and drop an F bomb for me.
