 Low Tide

Many cruisers spend a lot of time futzing with their engines. Few speak of it.
I'm coming to you today from Virginia Key. It is between Miami and Key
Biscayne.

 Bridge & house

I made it here, barely, to meet up with Evinrude parts formerly known as
working.
|
 Osprey
|
It has been a trying few weeks. I pleaded several times with my engine to give
me more performance to no avail. I'm happy to say the parts are in.
Unfortunately, although needed, they did not fix the engine's delivery. The
lower cylinder of my 9.9 is not producing adequate compression.

 Pelican Island

After several run-ins with currents at bridges I am reluctant to continue
until the rings are replaced. That won't happen in time for Christmas.

 Christmas Boat
|
I'd like to take this opportunity to post some more photographs and talk
a little about whats to come;
|
 Christmas Dock
|
I suspect, following this, that there will be two more transmissions sent out.
After I reach my destination, as per many requests, I will do a
piece on the boat's modifications, her interior, and her inventory. My log, once
completed, will be available for anyone who requests it.

 Christmas Markers

Mike and I are going to take a much needed break until the first week of
January.

 Flipper?

Happy Holidays Everybody!
