Fuel Pump

We needed to find out why our starboard engine refused to go over 1800 RPM and we found the cause.

Wouldn't you hate to see one of these things creeping across your bed in the middle of the night? Actually, it's just a run-of-the mill Carter marine fuel pump.  John H on our dock suggested we try NAPA for a replacement and they had it. We'll bolt the new one on this coming weekend and take a test ride.

Staying at the dock at American Wharf is never hard to take.  We are surrounded by nice people all of whom have a great sense of humor. Bill doesn't stay up very late but Frances does and there is always a gathering of boat people on the dock.


And of course, everyone's favorites, Ron & Sue. It must have been a cool evening!


Breakfast on Sunday morning was courtesy of Rob and Carol Ann. We think this is why we spent so many cold winter days on the boat. We always thought that summer would be like this.


I see a sink and dirty dishes.  Now what do I do?

  1. well, we are obviously having a great time on the dock. Bill, I am fairly sure that you do not do dishes on the boat; in fact, I know that is MY apron that you are wearing! However, your lack of galley work is more than made up for by your captaining duties. Keep taking pictures and updating the blog, it's the best!
