Blue


Noah authored and typed this poem in school this
morning:
Blue

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!
