Noah authored and typed this poem in school this morning:
Blue
by Noah Haskell
Blue tastes like a glass of water.
Blue sounds like waves on the shore.
Blue smells like the salty sea.
Blue looks like the sea.
Blue makes me feel hungry.
While Beth was teaching, I checked off a few projects this morning. Wired up the new alternator temperature sensor that was graciously provided by Rick Jones at Balmar, even though it was out of warranty. Also added ductwork to blow air directly onto the alternator so it might stay cooler.
The technicians here at Gratitude have been great. Dave loaned me his truck to run into town and restock groceries this morning.
It took a little longer than planned to get the service done, but we were treated very well and it gave us a chance to catch up on laundry and boat projects. The tank sensor arrived late in the day, so we decided to stay one more night. Had dinner with the Jenny and her family at the Harbor Shack and enjoyed a tasty steak tenderized with coffee grounds. Jenny and her husband have done all the work putting the old engine on eBay and she is the always pleasant voice that answers the phone here at the marina.

Today ended with another nice sunset and, we hope, it is the end of our engine saga. Tomorrow we start heading south. Time for new
adventures!
