I Love Fish

November 13
The salt water pump was dismantled and taken to the mechanic’s house to be examined. Diane and I cleaned off the rust from the bolts and pieces below the pump, applied a rust remover and then painted over the nuts and bolts. The spare bump which was already aboard was replaced, and we did more trials to see if the salt water is flowing… and it is doing a fine job! Signed out the “Bock Mobile” again today, and went to a department store, where I got a $5 watch to tell time and we got some fresh fish: a dozen shrimp and two fillets of Grouper. Shortly after our arrival back at the boat, the mechanic had already finished repairing the old salt water pump. The only thing holding us back is the weather and a few spare parts from West Marine. Dinner was fantastic!!! Grouper fillets, broccoli salad, rice, shrimp and pumpkin pie. I am eating extremely well aboard “Joana”. Toodles
