Haul Out

We left the City Marina on Thursday, the 10th and sailed over to Watson Bayou to haul the boat out and get some much needed work done. She came out of the water..no worries...I didn't sleep much the night before..I tend to worry about ALL THINGS! The bottom was not as bad as I thought it was, so that was a good thing and now we can get to work!

We got the prop off yesterday and the Bahamas home water heater out of the engine room, Pierre was happy about that, he has his ER space back. We have to decide on a new water heater now and we are going to have find a place for it and replumb it in.

We had wonderful intentions to work on the boat but, Codi's jeep has been giving her a fit this week, we have changed all sorts of things, but as we replace one thing another thing goes bad! Yesterday we went to Barry's Battery's and got a new battery, Pierre made a new battery cable (ethnic engineered from the old one) and we thought we had fixed the problems...not....it started leaking water again from another hose...well...to make a long story short....Pierre finally found the bad part...it is a heater control valve! And that my friends is a dealers only part! But lo and behold Pierre and Charlie had a wonderful idea, let's go to our Disney World, that for us is Pick and Pull, Charlie and I love that place!!

I have to stop here and give the guy at Pick and Pull kudos, Pierre gave him a $20 dollar bill and he said Pierre only gave him a 10, we told him no it was a 20 , but he insisted and Pierre told me to let it go, it was not worth fighting over...so we went out to the yard to see if we could find the part on a old jeep on the lot. Well we found the part, but not before Pierre cut his wrist really bad and I knew we had to get him to the ER for some stitches! As we were checking out I told the man that I wanted to give him our name and number and when he did his drawer this evening, he would be $10 over, well this guy, while we out in the yard, had already checked his drawer and sure enough, he was $10 over, so he gave me the money and gave us the part for free for our trouble! Thank you for your honesty!

And on that note, we spent the rest of the afternoon in Bay Medical ER! They are great there and we were impressed with the nurses, the staff and everyone was wonderful!
