We are happy to be at Old Port Cove Marina to visit
with Beth’s dad who has a condo just up the road. Dave and Danielle (Beth’s
niece) are here for a week, so we are fortunate that their visit coincides with
ours. We’ve been able to do laundry go to the beach and Dave took us out to dinner
at one of Beth’s favorite restaurants, The River House. Noah had a great time
at the beach, playing in the surf and being buried in the sand.

The cell phone stopped accepting a charge, so we
visited the local Verizon store. They replaced the phone under warranty, so we
are able to communicate by phone again. That shouldn’t last too much longer as
we won’t be using the phone in the Bahamas. We hope to use Skype and now have a
Skype In number. That service will work when we have a wi-fi connection and
take messages when we don’t.

Spent some “quality time” with the engine over the
last few days. While performing the 250 hour service we noticed chafe on
several of the fuel and water lines. They run on the opposite side that they
did with the old engine and get pinched between the engine and the side of the
compartment. It was worst where the metal engine mount was vibrating against
the raw water hose. One portion of the hose had abraded to the point where the
metal reinforcement was visible. It was hidden and tied with wire ties. Spent
most of the day running new hose and still need to provide more chafe
protection to insure it doesn’t happen again. Only relay this so that other
folks will do a thorough inspection of hoses as a preventative measure.

The weather doesn’t look conducive for our crossing to
Nassau this week, so we may stick around here while Beth’s family is in town.
