The last couple of days have been focused on getting parts, installing parts, and general maintenance. The usual drill of taking 10x longer to do simple jobs applies.... the new head arrived, but didn't fit the old mountings. The parts store didn't have all the filters needed. I know the tool I need is somewhere in the boat.... but where? How can you loose tools on a 40 foot boat?

Kam went bicycle riding with the loaner bike to visit the nearby Wormsloe historic estate while I changed engine oils and got the dinghy running. This evening we had a great run down the ICW for birding and sunset pictures, sunny but a bit cold. The 10 ft Achilles inflatable with 15 hp really moves along, especially in the calm river, until you hit the muddy bottom:)

Snugged in for the night with books to read. We'll be here into next week, waiting on batteries and other parts to arrive.
