Wow.... What a couple of Games !!!!.... Broncos vs. Patriots followed by Panthers vs Cardinals.... Yesterday was a football Sunday.... Earl was invited to Don and Judy's condo to watch the games... (for Earl the important game was the Panthers, of course).... Earl, in turn was nice enough to invite us... NICE...
Kathy declined in favor of relaxation, book-keeping, and keeping warm on SEEKER.

Susan and I had a secondary mission for ourselves, and other cruisers... at Walmart... Borrowing the SEEKER-mobile... we went to Walmart during the first afternoon game.... and bought propane for SEEKER; Paint for C-note; and Beer, munchies, etc. or the second game at Don and Judy's.

Wonderful day... a little on the chilly side, with regards to TEMPERATURE... but still sunny, and dry.

At 3 PM Susan and I rushed back to AB to assist "Dalmatian" in casting off from us... (the wind was just gusty enough to perhaps cause a problem when disconnecting lines, etc.)
They (Dalmatian) are now OFF and down the coast at Lake Worth.. .waiting for the "window" in the weather to cross to the Grand Bahama Island (Lucahaya).
So..............temporarily we're alone on a mooring ball...
(for those of you who don't know... RAFTING up to three boats on a Vero Beach mooring is the norm here. They can get a away with this because of the tremendous protection from wind and waves in this harbor).

Rick Dilcher called today.... They'll be coming, tomorrow, for lunch and a visit...
Today is Dinghy day.... We've been having a fuel fitting problem.... the plastic fitting at the motor housing is so loose it admits air into the fuel system... Therefore, eliminating the suction necessary to suck fuel from tank.... and the engine, literally runs out of fuel, UNLESS I pump the "priming ball" with one hand.... while running....
So....I'll have to come up with a replacement for that fitting today.... or change engines to the spare (Evinrude....for a few days.)

SO............... I'd better get at this project....More later.
